Doctors often focus on the medical side of chemotherapy but forget about how patients feel deep down. For breast cancer patients, the emotional and spiritual challenges can be just as tough as the physical ones. New research highlights how important it is to address these needs, yet they usually sli
Researchers tracked how often a drug called bevacizumab improved survival without causing new lung damage in people fighting the most common type of lung cancer that starts outside the lungs. The study looked at adults who had never been treated for this cancer but were about to start a standard fir
Aumolertinib, a newer drug that targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), has been tested in two hospitals on patients with a rare form of lung cancer. The cancer cells carry uncommon deletions in exon 19 of the EGFR gene, a pattern that often makes standard treatments less reliable. R

It targets pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, a fast-spreading form of pancreatic cancer that has already resisted other treatments. Patients who
Cancer studies rely on people joining big research groups called cohorts. These groups help scientists spot patterns between lifestyle choices, genes, and cancer risks. But it takes more than just collecting data. Real progress happens when researchers treat participants like partners, not just subj
A well-known TV presenter recently shared some personal news that caught many people off guard. She revealed she has breast cancer and will pause her popular home-tour show to focus on surgery and recovery. Speaking openly on her morning show, she admitted to feeling afraid—not something most would
Doctors have noticed something worrying in recent years. More younger adults are dying from cancers in the lower digestive system. The rise is especially sharp in people under 50. This group now faces three times the risk compared to past decades. The trend contradicts earlier assumptions that these
In the Nordic region, doctors have noticed that some jobs carry a higher chance of laryngeal cancer than others. This type of cancer, which affects the voice box, makes up nearly one‑third of all head and neck cancers. Two habits—drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes—are known to increase the risk
