“CancerWorld Issue 112 (February) is live!
This issue explores the people, policies, and practices shaping the future of oncology from global leadership to local impact.
We open with the life story of Dr Cary Adams. Moving from international banking to lead the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), his journey shows how openness to change, strategic vision, and a strong sense of purpose can reshape global health institutions. Arriving at UICC without a traditional oncology background, he invested deeply in learning and partnership-building, turning a “wild card” appointment into nearly two decades of organizational renewal.
Under his leadership, UICC became a global platform for collaboration, expanding its membership, influence, and ability to tackle some of the most complex challenges in cancer control.
Our second cover story features Professor Hesham ElGhazaly, an oncologist whose influence is measured not by titles, but by the systems he has built and the lives they have transformed. Through his work in Egypt, we see how determination, teamwork, and coordinated effort can deliver real reductions in cancer mortality with lessons that extend far beyond one country.
Inside this issue:
- Olivér Várhelyi, EU Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare, charts a clear path through Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan: empowering citizens, expanding screenings, and linking 100 high-standard cancer centres across the EU to improve care. Prevention, early detection, and equitable access are central-turning policy into real hope for millions.
- Cancer Patients Europe – CPE on ending cancer inequalities and using the European Semester on Health to ensure survival is no longer determined by postcode.
- Janet Fricker, on new evidence that CAR-NKT cell therapy may overcome barriers in pancreatic cancer, offering a more practical and potentially universal immunotherapy approach.
- Hugo R. Soares and Anabela Isidro, co-coordinators of the ECHoS Project, on how National Cancer Mission Hubs are moving from plans to action.
- Professor Arjun K Ghosh, the UK’s first consultant in cardio-oncology, on protecting the heart while treating cancer, making cardio-oncology central to modern care.
- Dr Fatima Cardoso and patient advocate Claire Myerson on equity and long-term support for patients living with metastatic breast cancer.
- Adrian Pogacian urges oncology systems to move beyond slogans with “United by Unique”, integrating psychosocial care, compassion, and individuality into treatment.
These stories underline a central truth: progress is more than innovation. It is leadership that listens, policies that deliver, and care that never forgets the human behind every diagnosis.
