In May 2025, neuroscientist Frank Winkler, together with neurooncologist Michelle Monje, received the Brain Prize for pioneering Cancer Neuroscience, a discipline that explores how neurons actively contribute to tumor growth. How are…
Breast cancer survivors who carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and received textured implants are 16 times more likely to develop breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) than those who have implants…
A deep learning model using biological age estimations from photographs improved physicians’ survival predictions in patients with incurable cancer receiving palliative care. The study, published in Lancet Digital Health, found that the…
Cancer does not affect all populations equally. For individuals of African descent, whether living on the continent or in the diaspora, cancer often presents at different stages, responds differently to treatment, and…
Colon cancer patients with a documented history of high cannabis use prior to diagnosis showed dramatic increases in mortality. The study, published in the Annals of Epidemiology on April 28, found that…
The alpha-synuclein, a protein long associated with Parkinson’s disease may hold the key to melanoma proliferation. The study, published in Science Advances, on 9 April, suggests that while excess alpha-synuclein results in…
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…
A new, innovative pipeline fusing genomics, proteomics and modelling in animals and chicken eggs is pinpointing new treatments for children with rare and relapsed cancers in Canada. Researchers in Canada have used…
The gut microbiota can transform cholesterol-derived bile acids into metabolites capable of blocking androgen receptors and strengthening anti-cancer immunity. The study, published in Cell, April 15, demonstrates how one of the microbiota-derived…
Survivors of childhood cancer experience accelerated onset of ageing-related diseases, regardless of prior radiation exposure. The simulation modelling study, published in JAMA Oncology, online March 20, found that chronic health conditions developed…
