Oncology research focuses on the study of cancer, encompassing a wide range of disciplines aimed at understanding its causes, mechanisms, treatment, and prevention. Researchers investigate various aspects including cancer biology, genetics, immunology, and epidemiology to uncover underlying molecular pathways, genetic mutations, and environmental factors contributing to cancer development. Oncology research also involves developing and testing new therapies, such as targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and precision medicine approaches, to improve patient outcomes and survival rates. Additionally, it explores cancer screening methods, early detection strategies, and supportive care to enhance quality of life for cancer patients and survivors.
