Researchers must obtain informed consent from participants, clearly explaining risks and benefits. They are required to protect participants' privacy and avoid unnecessary harm. Studies should be conducted honestly, reporting results truthfully and avoiding deception. Ethical oversight by review boards ensures that research maintains high standards and respects human dignity. These principles help balance scientific progress with the rights and well-being of individuals involved in cancer studies.
