Cancer – is a word that has devasted many lives. Many students ask Mr Shekhar Suman how they can make their careers in the field of cancer research? So in this video, we will show how you can become a cancer researcher in India or Abroad
Let’s get started
We will begin with Cancer Red Alert.
In 2018 there were around 10 million cases, which means more than a crore people were affected by this disease and by the time we reach 2030 – these numbers are going to touch 25 million. This means because of modern lifestyle and environmental conditions – it is going to double and triple.
CANCER RESEARCH SAVES LIVES
Cancer research is divided into 4 types
- Basic Research – Research at cellular, molecular & genetic levels
- Translational Research – Looks for solutions
- Clinical Research – Checking efficacy of drug molecules
- Population Research – Epidemiology of disease
