Explore the various stages of cancer research and understand how it happens across continents and different settings. Researchers are dedicated to discovering more about every aspect of cancer's journeyfrom prevention and screening through diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and -of-life care. Our knowledge on preventing, understanding, treating, managing, and surviving cancer heavily relies on various types of research.
The scope of this research is broad, encompassing several levels:
Basic Research: This includes laboratory-based studies that focus on understanding how healthy cells function and how cancer develops, grows, and spreads. The insights gned from basic research provide crucial information for future tests and treatments.
Clinical Trials: Clinical research involves testing promising treatments or tools in people as part of clinical trials to see if they work as hoped.
Population Health Research: This type of study uncover why some groups are healthier than others and how common characteristics influence cancer risk and long-term health outcomes.
Health Services Research: It focuses on improving the quality, accessibility, and affordability of healthcare so everyone can receive care regardless of their background or location.
Precision Medicine Research: Precision medicine research utilizes genetic knowledge to create more effective medicines with fewer side effects. This approach is also known as personalized medicine.
When encountering any new study about cancer, it's essential to critically assess its strengths and weaknesses.
