A scientist prepares protein samples for analysis in a lab at the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton, UK. Many great scientific feats were accomplished in the past decade, ranging from the discovery of water on Mars to the creation of a hamburger in a laboratory.Despite billions of dollars poured into cancer research, the disease continues to affect more than 17 million people and their loved ones today.
Most of the time, cancer patients will be free of the disease and they can go on to live long and happy lives.Researchers have long worked hard to find cures for all cancers and have noted several issues that will have to be dealt with along the way. Drugs that kill cancer cells in labs may not work on cancer cells inside people. Some tumours aggressively spread and mutate quickly.
Tumours are also capable of operating as its own ecosystem inside the body, with cancer cells communicating with each other and with nearby non-cancerous cells.Normal cells are manipulated to form blood vessels that feed the tumour and remove its waste products. While rare, cancer stem cells are resistant to many treatments and a single survivor can cause cancer recurrence in a previously cured patient. Learning to deal with these obstinate cells will aid in curing patients permanently.
