Cancer Prevention & Research

Cancer is the one of the deadliest diseases in the world today. There are various types of treatments available to prevent or treat cancer. It is also called group of diseases. In major cases, survival rates are very low.

Factors causing cancer can be controlled and therefore, cancer is generally preventable. Greater than 30% of deaths from cancer can be prevented by avoiding risk factors such as tobacco, excess weight or obesity, poor diet and physical inactivity, unsafe sexual mating and air pollution. Not all environmental causes are preventable, such as exposure to radiation and cancer caused through genetic defects.

Current innovations in cancer research are:

• Implantation of radioactive elements at the site of malignant tumour: brain cancer, cervical, prostate and other cancers.


• Precision cancer medicine administration


• Nutraceuticals application


• Stem-cell therapy


• Nano medicine


• Computational imaging of pathology (radiomics and pathomics)


• RNA based transcriptome study


• Dynamic BH3 profiling
