For many childhood cancers, chemotherapy is the only treatment option. A study explores the trade-off between life-saving treatment at a young age, and delayed side effects unfolding over a lifetime.
New research offers an explanation for why many men live with prostate cancer for decades while for others it turns lethal: The work identifies which processes cause DNA damage in most of the cancers.
In glioblastoma, the treatment order matters: a new study shows that administering cell immunotherapy before surgery to remove a brain tumour is significantly more effective than the other way around.
At CIRSE 2026, Precision IO presents Smart Seg AI for liver tumour segmentation and a new integration with GE HealthCare's Allia Moveo system for its Epione platform.
“Rather than talking about ER-positive or ER-negative breast cancer, we need to view it as a spectrum”: a new classification approach could lead to more personalised treatments.
Exposure of the thymus to radiation during lung cancer treatment is linked to an increased risk of the cancer spreading to other parts of the body and overall worse outcomes, a new study finds.
Surgical treatment of rectal cancer often means complete removal of the rectum. Now, new trial results suggest a different approach that lets patients keep their rectum – along with significant quality-of-life benefits.
A new study has identified a way to reshape the gut microbiome that can enhance the delivery of certain chemotherapies to tumors, making these nanoparticle-based cancer drugs more effective.
The members of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) recently elected five new officers to its Board of Directors. Beth Erickson, MD, FASTRO, has been elected President of the medical society.
Ultra-fast delivery, fewer side-effects: Results from the FAST-02 trial show that proton Flash therapy can be safely delivered to cancer patients with metastases in proximity to vital organs.
A blood test for ctDNA may help identify which patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver are most likely to benefit from chemotherapy after surgery, according to new research.
A new survey highlights major gaps in cardio-oncology training, despite its increasing clinical importance for prevention and early management of cardiovascular complications in patients with cancer.
Due to advances in radiation therapy, some breast cancer patients may be able to omit surgery following ablative radiation, according to new results of a Phase 2 trial.
Once breast cancer begins to metastasise, it generally becomes harder to treat and survival rates are lower. Now, researchers present a new, targeted treatment approach using SBRT radiotherapy.
United Imaging debuts its CE-marked uRT-linac 506c at ESTRO 2026 – a CT-linac system with native AI architecture for adaptive radiotherapy workflows.
New research reveals that testosterone slows glioblastoma growth—the opposite of the androgen’s effect on tumors outside the brain.
Researchers have used cryo-expansion microscopy to capture cytotoxic T lymphocytes destroying cancer cells in unprecedented 3D detail, opening new paths in immuno-oncology.
For a young adult, a cancer diagnosis hits different: a more aggressive disease course, greater disruptive potential, longer survivorship. Yet most healthcare institutions seem poorly prepared for this growing patient group. A plenary session at the NCCN 2026 Annual Conference examined a striking shift in modern oncology: the rising incidence of cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYA).
A multidisciplinary team of pathologists, oncologists and biologists has discovered a new biomarker to determine whether immunotherapy may work in people with colon and rectal cancer.
