    • When people receive a cancer diagnosis, they understandably are focused on the treatments they receive. Why, however, is research about the basic biology underlying cancer cells important to finding new treatments?

    • To enable the tailoring of treatment to the many possible variation.

    • 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.

    • Knowing how the cell became cancerous can provide targeted therapy opportunities.

    • Basic and fundamental understanding of cancer cell at the lowest level can lead to more effective treatments

    • No tags

    • No response needed

    • Not sure what the follow up is supposed to be.

    • To study gene mutations and find treatments that can be tailored to different types of cancer.

    • I don’t know

    • It’s essential to understand the biology of cancer pathology to understand how to counter manipulate the changes.

    • Basic biology allows the understanding of cancer growth.
