What are the Challenges in Pharmacological Data Collection?
- Heterogeneity of Cancer: Cancer is not a single disease but a collection of related diseases with diverse genetic and molecular profiles, making it challenging to generalize findings. - Complexity of Treatment Regimens: Many cancer therapies involve combinations of drugs, radiation, and surgery, complicating the assessment of individual treatment effects. - Patient Variability: Differences in age, gender, genetics, and overall health can influence drug efficacy and toxicity, necessitating personalized approaches. - Long-Term Monitoring: Cancer treatments often require prolonged follow-up to assess long-term outcomes and late-onset side effects.
