Recent Advances In Understanding The Link Between BRCA Gene Testing And Prostate Cancer
The continual rise of prostate cancer cases worldwide has shifted its ranking from being the second most common cancer to the leading malignancy in males. This corresponds to high morbidity and mortality in recent years (Zannini et al., 2025). The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system, situated under the bladder, and primarily…

The role of Cannabis compounds in the treatment of ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is one of the most critical health concerns in the female population worldwide. It is the most common gynaecological malignancy, often detected late due to non-specific symptoms at early stages. It has been reported that two of the main bioactive compounds that originate from the Cannabis sativa plant, cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),…

Bevacizumab – A useful treatment for Colorectal Cancer in combination with chemotherapy
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer globally (World Health Organisation, 2026). It is more common in the male population, and the risk increases with age. It is estimated that 35, 000 people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer in England annually (National Institute for Health Care and Excellence, 2025). The National Health Service bowel…

New Monoclonal Antibodies For The Treatment Of Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer presents the highest rate of morbidity and mortality due to its non-specific symptoms in the early stages and its silent nature. Since the invention of hybridoma technology in 1975 by Köhler and Milstein to generate murine monoclonal antibodies, a mass effort was made to design new engineering strategies to maintain demand, efficacy, and…

Do low and middle-income countries increase cancer death rates?
The World Health Organisation has reported that over 70% of cancer deaths globally disproportionately occur in low and middle-income countries (LMIC). The rising global burden is caused by profound inequitable challenges from limited healthcare resources, lack of public awareness of cancers and their prevention, and inadequate training of healthcare staff, which creates a fragile health…

The Role Of Artificial Biomarkers In The Diagnosis And Treatment Of Neurological Tumours
The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had a mass transformative effect in shifting healthcare to a positive enlightenment, particularly in neuro-oncology, where it empowered healthcare professionals to diagnose patient cases more efficiently, strengthen prognosis, and enable real-time monitoring and treatment planning (Khalighi et al., 2024). This helped improve the overall clinical outcomes of cancer…

A Novel Genetic Test Using Nanopore-based assay
Nanopore genetic sequencing is an innovative technique where the graphical interface software Rapid nanpOre Brain IntraoperatIve classificatioN (ROBIN) presents sequencing results of patients in real-time as data is being analysed and interpreted from a single assay (Deacon et al., 2025). The World Health Organisation (WHO) classification of tumours of the central nervous system (CNS) has…

Recent Advances In CAR T Cell Therapy
McMaster University (2024) announced that a pre-clinical animal (xenograft) model study led by the Singh Lab has discovered that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) CAR-T cell therapy may be used to treat glioblastoma, a malignant brain cancer. Current treatments for brain cancer were established by Stupp and Colleagues (2005) and consist of maximal surgical resection of…
