As we approach the end of another year, we find ourselves reflecting on the fact that modern-day cancer research is as diverse as it is remarkable. Researchers continue to develop innovative ways to exploit weaknesses in cancer cells; make surgery and radiation more precise and effective; understand cancer’s effects on the physical, mental, and financial well-being of those with the disease and their loved ones—and much, much more.
Our top stories of the year capture some of the most exciting advances and significant discoveries in cancer research and provide a peek at the potential advances on the horizon. So, if you missed them the first time around, here’s your chance to catch up!
Finally, as we inch closer to our 10th year of publication, the writers and editors of Cancer Currents would like to thank you for your continued support. If you find our reporting important or helpful, please share it with friends and colleagues and encourage them to subscribe.
