Researchers are uncovering the genetic and molecular mechanisms behind cancer development. This includes studying mutations, tumour microenvironments, and the role of the immune system in combating cancer.
Innovative imaging techniques, liquid biopsies, and biomarker research are enhancing early detection of cancers. Early diagnosis is crucial for improving treatment effectiveness and patient survival rates.
Targeted therapies are designed to specifically attack cancer cells while minimising damage to healthy cells. These treatments often focus on specific genetic mutations or proteins that drive cancer growth.
Immunotherapy harnesses the body's immune system to fight cancer. Breakthroughs in checkpoint inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapy have shown promise in treating various cancer types, including melanoma and certain leukemias.
Precision medicine tailors treatment based on an individual's genetic makeup and the specific characteristics of their cancer. This personalised approach aims to increase treatment effectiveness and reduce side effects.
Research into lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, and tobacco use, continues to highlight ways to reduce cancer risk. Vaccines, such as the HPV vaccine, are also being studied for their potential to prevent cancer.
Ongoing research focuses on the long-term effects of cancer treatment and improving the quality of life for survivors. This includes studies on mental health, rehabilitation, and palliative care.
Cancer research is increasingly addressing disparities in cancer care worldwide. Efforts are being made to improve access to screening, treatment, and education in underserved populations.
Learn about different types of cancer, their risk factors, and symptoms. Understanding these aspects can help in early detection and prevention.
