Molecular Oncology

Molecular oncology is a branch of medical research that focuses on understanding cancer at a molecular level. It examines the genes, proteins, and cellular processes involved in the development and progression of cancer. By studying these molecular changes, scientists aim to identify specific targets for new treatments, improve diagnostics, and develop personalized therapies for patients. This approach helps in understanding how cancer cells grow and spread, leading to more effective strategies for prevention and treatment, ultimately aiming to enhance patient outcomes and reduce the impact of cancer on individuals and society.
