“CancerWorld N118 (August 2026) is live!
Who will write the next chapter of oncology?
For generations, progress in cancer care has been driven by scientific discovery, technological innovation, and clinical excellence.
Today, another force is helping shape its future: lived experience.
The August issue of CancerWorld explores how patients, survivors, caregivers, and advocates are becoming partners in research, policy, education, and the delivery of cancer care.
Our two cover stories embody this transformation. Martha Raymond, a pioneer in gastrointestinal cancer advocacy, reflects on more than four decades of advancing patient partnership in oncology. Gloria Okwu shares how her own breast cancer diagnosis became the catalyst for one of Nigeria’s leading patient advocacy movements.
Beyond our cover stories, this issue explores how lived experience is reshaping every dimension of oncology – from survivorship and mental health to patient-reported outcomes, AI-supported patient navigation, and the growing role of patients as partners in research, policy, and cancer care. Together, these stories remind us that the future of oncology will be shaped as much by human experience as by scientific discovery.
Because the future of oncology will be written not only by those who study cancer, but also by those who live with it.
