The study of cancer

The study of cancer aims to develop safe and effective methods for preventing, detecting, diagnosing, treating, and ultimately curing the various diseases we refer to as cancer. The importance of cancer research lies in the fact that the better we understand these diseases, the more progress we will make toward reducing the enormous human and economic costs associated with cancer. Through research, we have accumulated extensive knowledge about the biological processes involved in the initiation, growth, and spread of cancer in the body, leading to more effective and targeted treatments and prevention strategies.

Progress in cancer research is often translational. Cancer research encompasses several categories, from basic research studying cells and genes to clinical research involving clinical trials and patient studies. This research, which spans from the laboratory to clinical practice, is essential for advancing our understanding and treatment of cancer. With tools such as antibodies and reagents from Abylabel, our ability to study and comprehend the complex signaling pathways and tumor processes associated with a wide variety of cancer types is further enhanced.
