Distinct Histological Patterns in Anal Canal Cancer: Insights from the Japanese National Registry
This article explores the unique epidemiological landscape of anal canal cancer in Japan, highlighting the predominance of adenocarcinoma over squamous cell carcinoma and the rising role of chemoradiotherapy in clinical management.

Proton Therapy Outperforms Photons in Oropharyngeal Cancer: Superior Survival and Reduced Toxicity in a Phase 3 Trial
A landmark Phase 3 trial establishes Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) as a new standard for oropharyngeal cancer, demonstrating non-inferior progression-free survival, significantly improved overall survival, and a marked reduction

Cancer Statistics in China: Current Landscape, Risk Factors, and Preventive Strategies
This article reviews the epidemiological transition of cancer in China, highlighting incidence, mortality, survival trends, major modifiable risk factors, and national prevention and control efforts.

Serplulimab Plus Chemotherapy Sustains Survival Advantage in ES-SCLC: Insights from the ASTRUM-005 Trial and Novel Biomarker Profiles
Updated ASTRUM-005 results confirm serplulimab’s significant survival benefit in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (15.8 vs. 11.1 months). Exploratory analyses identify a 15-protein signature and RB1/Notch mutations as potential predic

A Decadel Leap: TCX Regimen Outperforms Standard TAC in 10-Year Survival for High-Risk HER2-Negative Breast Cancer
A 10-year randomized trial reveals that replacing anthracyclines with capecitabine (TCX) significantly improves overall survival and reduces toxicity compared to the standard TAC regimen in high-risk, HER2-negative breast cancer patients.

Breaking Resistance: SBRT Plus Cadonilimab Shows Promising Efficacy in Heavily Pretreated Refractory Solid Tumors
