  By studying the basic biology at more detailed levels (molecular, even quantum) the more likely we are to discover common patterns of origin that can lead to more generally applicable treatments for broader sets of cancer types.

  Research into cancer cell biology is key to new treatments because it reveals what makes cancer cells unique, helping scientists target their weaknesses, overcome resistance, and develop innovative therapies like immunotherapy. It’s the foundation for smarter, more effective solutions.
