The Chinese-Canadian scientist, whose discoveries made immunotherapy possible, predicts that the relationship between the brain and the human body’s defenses will be the next major front in the scientific war against cancer
Researchers from the universities of Zurich, Yale and Harvard reveal the differences between the characteristics of the patients who receive the drug during pharmaceutical testing and those who end up receiving it, which may reduce its safety and efficacy
Oncologists are perturbed by the increase in early-onset tumors and the potential role of lifestyle, though this may not explain the entire phenomenon
A new study reveals that almost half of patients with metastatic melanoma treated with these drugs were cancer-free 10 years later
The video revealing the end of the Princess of Wales’ chemotherapy treatment moved some in the U.K. while irritating others
The tumor-seeking radiopharmaceuticals are charting a new course in oncology, with promise for targeted treatments with fewer side effects
Two researchers are studying the effects of lack of sleep on the immune system. Some studies have linked this to an increased likelihood of suffering coronary events. It is also thought to raise the risk of cancer
The mutational signature SBS93 — which may be linked to smoking and alcohol consumption — was found in one in three tumors
Diagnosed seven months ago, the biologist struggles with the fact that there are very effective experimental treatments that are not yet authorized
The strategy — the injection of a simple antibody — has already begun to be tested in humans in an attempt to cure age-related illnesses
The doctor is one of the promoters of the Common Sense Oncology initiative, which warns that many anti-cancer drugs offer little to no benefits

Her memoir – ‘The Undying: A Meditation on Modern Illness’ – went beyond her own medical treatment. When it comes to searching for the causes of cancer, she writes how, in addition to studying genes, it’s just as important to examine the water we drink. The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet has also criticized the hypocrisy of certain patrons of scientific research. An American now living and teaching in Scotland, she spoke with EL PAÍS while on a visit to Madrid
The University of Oxford researcher is testing a revolutionary injection to prevent the appearance of lung cancer, the most common and deadly form of the disease
