Core Tip

Core Tip: Cancer remains at the forefront of fatal diseases, with an upward trend in incidence and mortality. Conventional methods have many limitations, necessitating the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The present paper reviews conventional and modern methods of cancer detection and therapy to facilitate an understanding of the rapidly advancing field and its future directions. Modern methods are not without drawbacks; there is still a need for new strategies to improve sensitivity, specificity, safety, and efficacy. Nevertheless, some novel techniques have been approved for use in clinical settings, certifying that an appropriate route was taken.
