What Are the Challenges in Developing Anti-Cancer Agents?
The development of anti-cancer agents faces several challenges:
Drug Resistance: Cancer cells can develop resistance to treatments, making them less effective over time. Side Effects: Many anti-cancer drugs have severe side effects that can limit their use. Cost: The high cost of research, development, and clinical trials can make new treatments expensive. Personalized Medicine: Cancer is highly heterogeneous, requiring personalized approaches for effective treatment.
