100 Most Influential People

The 100 Most Influential People in Oncology in 2025 (Full List)

When you think about oncology, who comes to mind?

A few decades ago, the field was defined by late diagnoses, limited therapies, and a quiet acceptance of poor outcomes. Cancer care was reactive, options were few, and survival was often the exception – not the expectation.

Today, oncology looks different. Tumors are sequenced, immune systems are activated, cancers are caught earlier, patients are a core part of their own care and conversations even evolve around cure.

That transformation happened one decision, one discovery, one act of leadership and kindness at a time.

In 2025, OncoDaily recognizes 100 influential people who have built modern oncology and continue to tirelessly push it forward.

The 100 Most Influential People in Oncology in 2025 recognizes the changemakers in cancer care who have helped shape current practice in oncology and continue to drive innovation and research towards better outcomes, advocacy, philanthropy, leadership and education. For the many deserving individuals not mentioned in this list, we will continue to acknowledge, honor and elevate your voices in our daily publications from across the world.
