What Are the Challenges in Applying Chemical Kinetics to Cancer Research?
Despite its potential, applying chemical kinetics to cancer research poses several challenges:
Complexity: Cancer involves numerous interacting pathways, making it difficult to isolate specific reactions for study. Variability: Genetic and environmental factors can cause significant variability in kinetic parameters among different patients. Drug Resistance: Cancer cells can develop resistance to drugs, altering the kinetics of treatment and complicating therapeutic strategies.
