Kindly let me know why cancer is difficult to cure.

Curing cancer is a complex challenge due to several reasons. Cancer arises from genetic mutations that lead to uncontrolled cell growth. The diversity of these mutations makes it challenging to develop a one-size-fits-all treatment. It is also a challenge because cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis. Once cancer has metastasized, it becomes more difficult to treat.
Furthermore, cancer cells can develop resistance to treatments such as chemotherapy and targeted therapies. This resistance can emerge over time and limit the effectiveness of certain drugs. Cancer cells can evade the body›s immune system, allowing them to survive and proliferate.
Many cancers are not detected until they have reached an advanced stage. Early detection significantly improves the chances of successful treatment, but screening methods are not available for all types of cancer. Cancer is not a single disease but a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. There are many different types of cancer, each with unique characteristics. Even within a specific type of cancer, there can be considerable genetic and molecular heterogeneity.
Researchers and medical professionals are continually working to better understand cancer and develop more effective treatments. Advances in fields such as genomics, immunology, and targeted therapies are providing new avenues for treatment, but the complexity of cancer makes it an ongoing scientific and medical challenge.
