What are the Challenges in Studying Chemopreventive Agents?
Despite their potential, studying chemopreventive agents presents several challenges:
Variability in response: Different individuals may respond differently to the same agent. Long-term studies: Chemoprevention often requires long-term studies to observe significant effects, which can be resource-intensive. Complex mechanisms: The mechanisms of action of many chemopreventive agents are complex and multi-faceted, making it difficult to isolate specific effects.
