Cancer research encompasses several key areas, including:
Basic Research: Investigates the fundamental biological processes that lead to cancer, such as genetic mutations, cell signaling pathways, and tumor microenvironment interactions. Translational Research: Bridges the gap between basic research and clinical applications, focusing on the development of new diagnostic tools, treatments, and preventive measures. Clinical Trials: Evaluates the safety and efficacy of new therapies in humans, providing essential data for regulatory approval and clinical use. Epidemiology: Studies the patterns, causes, and effects of cancer in populations, informing public health strategies and prevention programs. Psycho-Oncology: Explores the psychological, social, and emotional aspects of cancer, aiming to improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
