Integrating multiomic spatial profiling and ctDNA for a deeper understanding of cancer complexity
Diverse approaches are investigated in oncology that also include the use of artificial intelligence
Cancer Intelligence (eHealth, Telehealth Technology, BIG Data)
Will AI reduce or increase inequities in cancer care?
While the use of artificial intelligence systems is expanding in oncology, ethical issues including biases introduced in care delivery and uneven access to technology raise concerns about whether some patients may be left behind
The updated ESMO-MCBS captures the evolving treatment landscape and patient priorities
The ESMO-Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale has been enhanced to address critical aspects of modern oncology trials, such as novel study designs, quality of life and long-term survival benefits
Machine learning approach identifies the enzyme MMP2 as a key target for drug repurposing in advanced cervical cancer
Additional treatment targets and potentially repurposable agents were identified based on chemoradiotherapy response, which could now be explored for further validation.
Cancer Control Principles
Microplastics and cancer: a microscopic threat, a macro challenge
Evidence is growing for a potential role of microplastics in cancer development, but more solid research is needed
AI applications in oncology go beyond clinical practice
While many models and tools are designed to support clinical decision-making, AI is already serving cancer research for background tasks, with some potential to educate patients too
Machine learning models predict adverse events and survival in patients receiving immunotherapy
New data supports the use of artificial intelligence for the administration of immune-check inhibitors in solid tumours
Can AI and liquid biopsies take precision oncology to the next level?
According to the 2025 ESMO TAT Honorary Awardee, Prof. Philippe Bedard, new technologies have the potential to increase the wealth of information generated from trials and registries
Rare cancers: research progresses at a slower pace than in other areas of oncology
With its new peer-reviewed journal dedicated to rare tumours, ESMO supports knowledge and data sharing among the stakeholders in the field
Cancer Control Principles
Hypofractionation may help reduce the impact of radiotherapy on the environment
Recent research suggests a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions with de-escalation per cancer patient
