Cancer research refers to a branch of medical research focused on understanding cancer, its causes, mechanisms, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management. This field encompasses a wide array of scientific disciplines, including molecular biology, genetics, epidemiology, and clinical studies, aimed at discovering new insights into how cancer develops and progresses. The ultimate goal of cancer research is to improve patient outcomes through the development of effective therapies, diagnostic tools, and preventive measures. Researchers may investigate various aspects of cancer, such as tumor biology, the effectiveness of existing treatments, the development of new drugs, and the impact of lifestyle factors on cancer risk. Furthermore, cancer research is crucial for translating laboratory findings into clinical applications that benefit patients and public health.
