This issue of touchREVIEWS in Oncology & Haematology brings together a diverse collection of articles reflecting the growing complexity of cancer care and the continued evolution of precision medicine across tumour types. From rare malignancies and treatment-related challenges to emerging ...
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide.1 Over the past two decades, the molecular characterization of NSCLC has transformed the therapeutic landscape by enabling the development of targeted therapies that have significantly improved outcomes ...
Among glial tumours of the central nervous system (CNS), one of the most devastating is the category of H3K27-altered midline gliomas because of their uniform and rapid mortality, high neurological symptom burden and predilection for paediatric, adolescent and ...
An immunosuppressed person is one whose immune function is impaired by underlying disease and/or immunosuppressive medications, resulting in reduced immunosurveillance against malignant cells and increased vulnerability to opportunistic infections. Longstanding immunosuppression has been linked to increased risk for cutaneous (...
Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare gastrointestinal malignancy, accounting for about 1–3% of gastrointestinal cancers.1,2 Its reported incidence has increased in recent decades, likely reflecting improved detection by balloon-assisted and capsule endoscopy and the more widespread use of cross-sectional imaging.3,4 ...
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the tenth most common cancer in 2024, with 66,440 new cases and 51,570 deaths.1,2 Globally, the prevalence varies from 10/100,000 cases in the Americas and Europe to 0.9/100,000 cases in South Central Asia and most of Africa.3 Currently, it has the ...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) act by blocking inhibitory pathways such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), thereby restoring T-cell activity and promoting tumour cell destruction.1,2 The ability of tumours ...
The intestinal microbiota, composed of approximately 1,000 species and over 100 trillion micro-organisms, plays a vital role in host physiology, including metabolism, barrier function and immune regulation.1 Disruption of this delicate host–microbiota balance – known as dysbiosis – has been implicated in the ...
It is with great pleasure that we present the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Oncology & Haematology. This edition showcases the continued advances and innovation reshaping cancer care, as well as highlighting the continued unmet needs and challenges associated with ...
The first primary microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia was identified as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) by Dr Moschowitz in 1924. At that time, the classic pentad of clinical features, still used today, included fever, erythrocyte fragmentation, thrombocytopenia, kidney injury and neurologic injury.1 It ...
Early-onset lung cancer is typically defined as occurring in individuals aged 18–50 years, although there is no universally accepted definition.1–3 This entity, though rare, poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This article synthesizes current evidence on the unique features and management ...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver, comprising approximately 85% of all primary liver cancers.1 Globally, it ranks as the sixth-most common cancer and the third-leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with over 900,000 new cases and 830,000 deaths ...
Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, with an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 CC-related deaths in 2020.1# Approximately 90% of CCs are caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV).2 Even though the adoption of both primary (HPV ...
We are delighted to present the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Oncology & Haematology. This issue underscores the evolving landscape of cancer therapeutics, showcasing advances across a wide range of malignancies, from haematologic diseases to solid tumours, through novel mechanisms, ...

Lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer worldwide and in the USA, with its incidence varying depending on geographic and socioeconomic factors.1–3 According to data from the Global Cancer Observatory: Cancer Incidence, Mortality and Prevalence (GLOBACAN) database, ...
Liquid biopsy: Initial concepts and application in solid tumours The US National Cancer Institute defines liquid biopsy (LB) as ‘a test done on a sample of blood to look for cancer cells from a tumour that are circulating in the ...
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a heterogeneous haematologic cancer associated with clonal expansion of myeloid blasts in the bloodstream, bone marrow and other tissues. AML is associated with blasts expressing various complex molecular and cytogenetic alterations, which play an important ...
