Medical advances are accelerating the battle against cancer. Here are 12 recent developments. 1. Personalized cancer vaccines. Thousands of NHS cancer patients in England could soon access trials of a new vaccine treatment. It's designed to prime the immune system to target cancer cells and reduce recurrence risk.
A cancer vaccine could have a vastly significant impact worldwide. Overall, 10,000 people could receive bespoke cancer treatments on the UK National Health Service, the world’s largest publicly funded health service, by 2030. This would mark a major step towards dramatically reducing cancer rates worldwide in the coming decades.
The index gives Australia top scores in most areas, but identifies weaknesses in the availability of some cancer services and infrastructure. The Netherlands, Germany, France and the UK complete the top five nations in the index. However, although Australia is rated best for policy and planning, Japan has the highest score for care delivery and ...

This World Cancer Day we asked leading experts how technological advances will shape and improve the future of cancer care. In 2019, there were approximately 23.6 million new cancer cases and 10 million cancer deaths globally, which represents a 26.3% increase in new cases and a 20.9% increase in fatalities compared with 2010. Furthermore ...
In India, the baseline cost is higher than the annual income of over 80-85% of households. AI and machine learning can help to play a crucial role in the early diagnosis of cancer, personalising treatment and developing drugs. Cancer—or the ‘Big C’, as we call it—is chronic yet curable, provided that it is diagnosed early and healthcare ...
Progress in cancer screening, the convergence of science, data and technology and bold collaborations are rapidly progressing the fight against cancer. Together, through our collective global efforts, we can end cancer as we know it. In 1971, US President Nixon launched the War on Cancer, saying: “The same kind of concentrated effort that ...
The most recent insights in nanotechnology, artificial intelligence (AI), biosensors, and the Internet of Things could help overcome the current roadblocks in making personalized cell therapies affordable. The solution to democratize these therapies lies in automating their manufacturing process, which would reduce the cost, time, and risks ...
Researchers at Durham University in the UK have used nanobots to drill into cancer cells, killing them in just 60 seconds. They are now experimenting on micro-organisms and small fish, before moving on to rodents. Clinical trials in humans are expected to follow and it is hoped that the results may have the potential to save millions of lives.
The global cancer community needs to come together, reprioritise screenings and minimise setbacks to healthcare systems and society. The speed and agility of the cancer community’s response to COVID-19 gives hope for rapid progress in preventing cancer becoming the next global health crisis. The full impact of the global pandemic is not yet ...
