What are the primary goals of a Cancer Research Institute?
The primary goals of a Cancer Research Institute include:
Basic Research: Understanding the fundamental biology of cancer cells, including genetic mutations, cellular mechanisms, and tumor microenvironment. Translational Research: Bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical applications to develop new treatments and interventions. Clinical Trials: Conducting trials to test the safety and effectiveness of new drugs, therapies, and diagnostic tools. Prevention and Early Detection: Identifying risk factors and developing screening methods to catch cancer early, when it is most treatable. Public Education: Raising awareness about cancer prevention, symptoms, and treatment options among the general public.
