Cancer research is challenging due to the complex nature of cancer and the multitude of factors that influence its development, progression, and treatment. One of the reasons why cancer research is particularly difficult is because of Biological Complexity.

Biological Complexity: Cancer is not a single disease but a collection of diseases characterized by abnormal cell growth and proliferation. There are over 200 different types of cancer, each with unique molecular characteristics, genetic alterations, and clinical behaviors. Understanding the diverse biology of cancer and its underlying mechanisms and developing cancer treatments requires extensive research and collaboration across multiple disciplines.
