A REVIEW ON: CANCER DISEASE – PRESENT AND CHALLENGE FOR FUTURE

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, a complex and multifaceted disease.Cancer still presents many difficulties, even with improvements in detection and therapy.Currently, the disease is marked by rising global cases (18.1 million in 2018) and deaths (9.6 million), diverse cancer types and subtypes that complicate diagnosis and treatment, emerging drug resistance, and disparities in access to care and outcomes across geographic, socioeconomic, and racial groups.Looking ahead, future directions for combating cancer include precision medicine, immunotherapy, early detection through advancements in screening and imaging, personalized cancer vaccines, and the integration of artificial intelligence to enhance diagnosis and treatment planning.Research priorities should focus on understanding cancer biology, developing effective therapies, enhancing cancer prevention, addressing disparities, and leveraging technology to improve outcomes.By addressing these problems and undertaking innovative research, we may improve cancer outcomes, decrease death rates, and increase the quality of life for people with cancer and those who love them.To address the numerous issues surrounding cancer, a multidimensional strategy including policy changes, scientific improvements, and community engagement is needed.
