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.
AI models can generate more complete summaries of complex cancer pathology reports than physicians, according to a new study that tested six models developed by Meta, Google, DeepSeek and Mistral AI.
A new review shows that chronic stress may actively drive cancer progression. Therefore, psycho-oncology should be part of standard cancer care, the researchers argue.
Fear that their cancer will progress or worsen is one of the most common concerns among people living with this disease. A new tool aims to reliably measure patients’ anxiety about their cancer.
Women are more likely to survive cancer than men but face a higher risk of serious and adverse side effects from treatment, according to a new international study.
Researchers discovered that pineoblastoma, retinoblastoma and medulloblastoma – severe brain tumours in children that appear to be completely different – actually arise from the same type of cell.
