CancerWorld shared a post on LinkedIn:
“CancerWorld Issue #111 (January) is live!
This issue is about how leadership shapes lives.
On one cover, Judy Habib.
Named for hope, raised in purpose, and now chair of the board of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Her story is not only about leadership, but about memory – how institutions endure when they protect their soul. She shows how St. Jude continues to turn fear into possibility, staying faithful to a promise made generations ago: to find cures and save children.
On the other cover, Dr. Hosam Abu Meri.
A physician who never left the clinic, even after entering politics. From a mountain village in Lebanon to the center of Latvian health reform, he lives a dual responsibility – as a gastroenterologist and as Latvia’s Minister of Health. His leadership is built on proximity to patients, credibility in policy, and the belief that health systems must serve people before structures.
Together, these two stories ask the same question from different worlds:
What does responsible leadership look like – when lives are at stake?
From there, the issue widens its lens.
It examines how cancer care can be innovative without being exclusionary. How value, ethics, and sustainability must move together. How technology must remain human-centered. And how the emotional cost of care – on patients, families, and professionals – can no longer be ignored.
Inside this issue:
- A rethinking of value-based oncology and sustainable innovation by Dario Trapani

This is not an issue about optimism alone. It is about hope with structure. Leadership with memory. And reform guided by humanity.
