A wide range of cancer-related innovations can be patented. These include new chemical compounds for cancer drugs, methods for diagnosing cancer, novel treatment protocols, medical devices used in cancer treatment, and even genetically engineered organisms involved in cancer therapy. However, it is important to note that natural phenomena, abstract ideas, and laws of nature are not patentable, which means that a naturally occurring substance or a basic scientific principle cannot be patented unless it is applied in a novel and non-obvious way.
