CancerWorld is not about papers, it’s about people – Alberto Costa

CancerWorld shared a post on LinkedIn:

“CancerWorld #104 | June 2025 Edition: The human stories behind the science.

At CancerWorld, we don’t just publish science, we publish the PEOPLE behind it. As Alberto Costa reminds us: “CancerWorld is not about papers, it’s about people.”

This issue brings that philosophy into sharp focus. From Riyadh to Ithaca, Guangzhou to Santiago, Issue #104 is a sweeping and deeply human look at the global fight against cancer, from the lab bench to the policy table, from grassroots care to world-stage leadership.

The dual cover stories:

Her Royal Highness Princess Adila bint Abdullah Al Saud, in a rare and powerful interview, shares her mission of compassion through PediatricCancer care, refugee advocacy, and women’s empowerment.

Alberto Costa, breast cancer surgeon, European School of Oncology founder, educator, and quiet builder of a pan-European oncology legacy, reflects on medicine, mentorship, and meaning.

Also in this issue:
– The inspiring story of Catharine Young, Ph.D. from the Lab to The White House
– Pediatric researchers in 🇨🇦 Canada using chicken eggs to test therapies in real time
– Traditional Chinese medicine meets modern oncology: a scientific and cultural exchange
– Chile’s hereditary cancer program and a new era for underserved communities
– Microbiota, bile acids, and the androgen receptor: exploring new immune-oncology frontiers
– WorldNoTobaccoDay feature: the subtle return of smoking in cinema, and why it matters for public health
– Dr. Amalya Sargsyan’s remarkable path through rejection and resilience

Whether through science, storytelling, or systems change, CancerWorld remains committed to elevating the human dimension of cancer care. In every issue, we ask: Who are the people shaping this field, not just in the lab, but in life? This month, we invite you to meet them.”
