There are many approaches to treating cancer. Which ones work best is determined on an individual basis and informed by each tumor.
Identifying proteins that are only present in bodily fluids when a patient has breast cancer could provide a way to screen healthy people for the disease.
Treatment for lung cancer patients is the same for everyone, regardless of the risk of recurrence. The use of a new technology could refine diagnosis.
Even families in conflict can be a strong source of support for a loved one with cancer.
From helping surgeons to carry out complex procedures to monitoring the heartbeat of the chronically ill, the use of AI in cancer care is set to be game-changing.
There’s a lot to learn, understand and organise when you receive a cancer diagnosis. But you don’t need to do it all at once.

In future health emergencies and possibly further waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, caution needs to be taken when extending cancer waiting times for reasons unrelated to patients’ health-care needs.
The NanoMslide causes potentially cancerous cells to ‘light up’ with vivid colour contrast. It has already been successful in finding early-stage breast cancer cells in human tissue.
New studies highlight the difficulties cancer patients have when discussing their illness with family and medical teams.
Long non-coding RNAs were long thought to serve no purpose. Now, researchers think differently.
