Progress in Cancer Care is about What We Choose to Make Possible in the World

“CancerWorld 106 (August 2025) is Live
At CancerWorld, we see cancer care as a meeting point of breakthrough science, human resilience, and the systems that connect them. The August 2025 issue brings that intersection into sharp relief, with a two-sided cover that pairs scientific ingenuity with the fight for equity.
On one cover, Dr. Jennifer S. Buell shares the extraordinary rise of MiNK Therapeutics and its off-the-shelf iNKT cell therapy that is quietly redrawing the map of immuno-oncology.
On the other, Jayasree Iyer, CEO of the Access to Medicine Foundation, confronts the industry’s blind spot: the treatments exist, but for 80% of the world, they remain out of reach. Her story is a call to turn innovation into equitable reality.
Between these two poles, breakthrough and access, this issue explores the many ways science, policy, culture, and compassion collide.
Inside this issue:
- The Face Age, an AI tool that predicts hashtag#CancerSurvival from a single photo, and what it means for prognosis.
- Prof. Michel GOLDMAN: the immunologist-turned-lymphoma-patient who never stopped teaching, even as his own cells turned against him
- Folk remedies in Eastern Europe – and the dangers of mistrust in evidence-based care.
- Cancer Neuroscience breakthroughs by Frank Winkler and Michelle Monje, winners of the prestigious Brain Prize.
- An open letter from Sandy Duarte, a cancer survivor who shares why empathy must stand beside medicine.
- BRCA mutations and breast-implant–associated lymphoma – a crucial warning.
- An AI-authored reflection on the ‘art’ of personalised hope.
- The legacy of Dr. Anne Merriman and the future of palliative care in Africa.
Two covers. Ten stories. One truth:
Progress in cancer care is not just about what we can do in the lab – it’s about what we choose to make possible in the world.
