The November 2025 issue of CancerWorld is Now Live.
It offers a powerful celebration of those who lead with conviction, innovate with purpose, and remind us that progress in oncology is about the quality of life restored as much as survival rates.
This issue opens with two compelling cover stories that reflect a shared commitment to cancer care across continents and generations. Her Royal Highness Princess Ghida Talal of Jordan transforms personal tragedy into a public mission, leading the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center with unwavering conviction that access to cancer care is a fundamental human right. Her inspiring story illuminates the impact of compassionate leadership in transforming cancer care across the Arab world.
“In many parts of the world, cancer is often placed at the bottom of the list of national priorities, even though it is just as lethal as any other crisis. Yet, there is no more urgent or universal cause than cancer. It touches every family, every community, and every country. I have made it my mission to keep cancer at the forefront and to remind policymakers and the public that saving lives from cancer is not a luxury that should only be addressed after our more “pressing” challenges. It is an urgent moral obligation.” – said Her Royal Highness Princess Ghida Talal.
Mirroring this spirit is the legacy of Professor Umberto Veronesi, founder of the European School of Oncology more than 40 years ago. His visionary belief that medicine must be taught as a human science remains the guiding principle of the School today. The School continues to build bridges between knowledge and humanity, underscoring that learning to care is as vital as learning to cure.
The issue also highlights critical policy perspectives from MEP Tilly Metz, who urges Europe to balance cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship with a focus on environmental health, HPV elimination, and equity in alignment with the Beating Cancer Plan.
Scientific innovation shines through inspiring examples: Lund University in Sweden has developed an AI model trained on mammograms that could spare up to 40% of women from unnecessary sentinel lymph node biopsies, representing a leap in personalized, less invasive care. Additionally, groundbreaking research on the oral microbiome reveals bacterial and fungal species linked to pancreatic cancer risk, pointing toward future non-invasive early detection methods.
Voices of resilience and advocacy also feature prominently – from oncologists providing fertility preservation in resource-limited settings at Uganda Cancer Institute, to survivor and advocate Shrenik Shah, who found his voice again through technology after losing it to laryngeal cancer, inspiring countless others to reclaim identity beyond survival.
CancerWorld’s November issue is a testament to hope evolving across laboratories, and hospital wards alike – united by the conviction that true progress in oncology is not only scientific but profoundly human.
