Despite significant progress, cancer research faces several challenges:
Heterogeneity: Cancer is not a single disease but a collection of diseases with diverse characteristics, making it difficult to find a one-size-fits-all treatment. Toxicity: Many cancer treatments can have severe side effects, impacting patients' quality of life. Funding: Research requires significant financial resources, and funding can be limited. Clinical Trials: Recruiting and retaining participants for clinical trials can be challenging, slowing down the development of new treatments.
