Understanding Cancer Research Study Design and How to Evaluate Results
COMMENTS
What Are Cancer Research Studies?
Clinical Research. Clinical research involves the study of cancer in people. These cancer research studies are further broken down into two types: clinical trials and observational studies. Clinical trials are research studies that involve an intervention, which is a treatment or change that may affect the results of cancer.These can lead to new treatments, care, and improved results for ...
What Is Cancer Research?
Population research (also known as epidemiological research) is the study of causes and patterns of occurrence of cancer and evaluation of risk. Population scientists, also known as epidemiologists, study the patterns, causes, and effects of health and diseases in defined groups. Population research is highly collaborative and can span the ...
Cancer Biology, Epidemiology, and Treatment in the 21st Century
Introduction. During the last one hundred years, our understanding of the biology of cancer increased in an extraordinary way. 1-4 Such a progress has been particularly prompted during the last few decades because of technological and conceptual progress in a variety of fields, including massive next-generation sequencing, inclusion of "omic" sciences, high-resolution microscopy, molecular ...
Cancer research
Cancer research is research into cancer to identify causes and develop strategies for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure.. Cancer research ranges from epidemiology, molecular bioscience to the performance of clinical trials to evaluate and compare applications of the various cancer treatments. These applications include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy ...
Understanding Cancer Research Study Design and How to Evaluate Results
Each study is a small piece of the cancer research puzzle. Medical practice rarely changes because of the results of 1 study. New results are exciting. But other researchers must confirm the results before the medical field accepts them as fact. Review articles are of special interest.
A roadmap for the next decade in cancer research
Morphology-based studies of cancer cells dominated the field for more than a century, before the advances in genetics and biochemistry empowered the biological study of cancer.
About Cancer Research
About Cancer Research Scope. Cancer Research publishes impactful original studies, reviews, and opinion pieces of high significance to the broad cancer research community.Cancer Research seeks manuscripts that offer conceptual or technological advances leading to basic and translational insights into cancer biology. Manuscripts that focus on convergence science, the bridging of two or more ...
Basic Research
Basic Research at CCR. Ushering in a new era in which cancers are prevented or routinely detected at their earliest, most treatable stages, or managed through genetic profiling and other novel approaches, requires us to deepen our understanding of the biology of cancer and translate that knowledge into more effective, less toxic, and better ...

Definition of Research Areas
The Common Scientific Outline or 'CSO', is a classification system organized around seven broad areas of scientific interest in cancer research: Biology. Etiology (causes of cancer) Prevention. Early Detection, Diagnosis, and Prognosis. Treatment. Cancer Control, Survivorship, and Outcomes Research. Scientific Model Systems.
How To Become a Cancer Researcher (and What They Do)
For example, individuals who pursue a master's degree with a focus on cancer research often pursue cellular biology or chemistry in their undergraduate programs. However, cancer researchers who hope to pursue a Ph.D. or medical degree may instead choose to earn an undergraduate degree in biology or pre-med. 2. Gain relevant experience.
Five decades of advances in cancer research
It is amazing to see how far the field has evolved in the past 50 years—from the viral origin of cancer to the appreciation that cancer is a systematic disease. Most importantly, cancer is no longer a death sentence; if detected early, many cancers are treatable, and 5-year survival rates can now exceed 90%. That said, the battle is not over yet.

What we study
DCEG research covers a range of exposures and risk factors for cancer, giving priority to emergent issues identified through epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory observations, as well as public health concerns. Major fields of study include: Environment. Environmental and Occupational Exposures
Careers in cancer research: Many paths to choose
Cancer research has moved with the times, embracing new technologies enabling scientists to pursue more varied research goals than ever. Cancer researchers can find themselves in various settings linked to either academia or industry, working in many areas, from tackling basic questions in the laboratory to testing new drugs and vaccines in the clinic.
New study offers hope for a rare and devastating eye cancer
After more than a decade studying a rare eye cancer that produces some of the hardest-to-fight tumors, researchers from University of Pittsburgh Medical Center have found a treatment that works on ...
Researching cancer by studying lipids cell by cell
A study has sampled single live cancer cells and measured the fatty lipid compounds inside them. The team saw how those cells transformed in response to changes in their environment.

A qualitative evaluation of factors influencing Tumor Treating fields
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) Therapy is an FDA-approved therapy in the first line and recurrent setting for glioblastoma. Despite Phase 3 evidence showing improved survival with TTFields, it is not uniformly utilized. We aimed to examine patient and clinician views of TTFields and factors shaping utilization of TTFields through a unique research partnership with medical neuro oncology and ...
