What are the Challenges in Tumor Cell Epidemiology?
Several challenges exist in the epidemiology of tumor cells:
Data quality and availability: Inconsistencies in cancer registries and reporting. Genetic diversity: Variability in tumor genetics complicates the identification of common risk factors. Latency periods: The long time between exposure to risk factors and the development of cancer. Complex interactions: Between genes and the environment, making it difficult to isolate specific causes.
