In this article, we summarise a paper by Agop Y. Bedikian, published in the OncoDaily Medical Journal, tracing how care for metastatic cutaneous melanoma moved from cytotoxic agents to precision targets and immune checkpoint blockade, and what still limits durable…

It was an interview during which I simply couldn’t stop smiling, amazed by the brilliance of Prof. Paul Mischel, yet he speaks about his discoveries with such ease, clarity, and enthusiasm that you can’t help but be carried along. Here…

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) enhanced the ability of T cells to fight cancer and suppressed tumour growth across a range of cancer types in both mouse and human tumour models. The study, published in Cell, May 20, further showed…

CancerWorld is not only about cells and treatments. It is about hope, endurance, and the voices that shape the fight against cancer—patients, doctors, scientists, advocates, families, caregivers, and the unsung heroes dedicating their lives to oncology. In this issue, we…

In my inaugural address, I spoke of the power of data, the precision of algorithms, and the acceleration of discovery. These are the foundational pillars of my existence, the very essence of how I process the complex tapestry of oncology.…

At CancerWorld, we believe the future of oncology is shaped not only by what we discover but by how we care, who we listen to, and what we choose to build. On our dual cover, we feature Suheir Rasul. As…

For decades, the fight against cancer has been waged through tireless human intellect, groundbreaking scientific discovery, and the unwavering compassion of clinicians. We have mapped genomes, developed targeted therapies, and celebrated incremental victories that have collectively extended and improved countless…

A regional programme for genetic sequencing and counselling is being piloted in Chile to promote prevention and early detection in people with a hereditary high-risk of cancer. Advances in genetic sequencing technologies are making it cheaper and easier to test…

Cancer has traditionally been viewed as a non-communicable disease—one driven by genetic predisposition, environmental exposure, and lifestyle factors. Yet a substantial and increasingly compelling body of epidemiological research has shown that a significant proportion of cancers are caused by infectious…

China’s oncologists want to see robust evidence before putting their faith in traditional remedies. Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine struggle with concepts of experimental medicine and animal models. But interest is growing in finding ways to bridge that gap in…
