Cancer research refers to the scientific investigation aimed at understanding cancer, its causes, mechanisms, development, and treatment. This field encompasses a wide range of studies, including basic research that explores the biology of cancer cells, as well as clinical research that evaluates new therapies and strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Cancer research aims to improve the understanding of how cancer develops and progresses, identify risk factors, discover potential biomarkers for early detection, and develop novel therapeutic approaches, including chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies. It often involves interdisciplinary collaboration, incorporating insights from genetics, molecular biology, pharmacology, and epidemiology. The ultimate goal of cancer research is to enhance patient outcomes, reduce cancer incidence, and improve overall public health related to cancer.
