Recent studies uncover novel molecular targets and therapeutic strategies for various cancers. From exploiting immune mechanisms to silence oncogenic pathways to pairing chemotherapy with immunotherapy for improved outcomes, researchers are pushing the frontier in cancer treatment. Investigations into biomarkers and epigenetic regulators yield insights for prognosis and therapy personalization in ovarian, lung, breast, glioblastoma, and colorectal cancers. Emerging drugs, including antibody-drug conjugates and gene therapies, show early clinical promise in diversifying treatment options.
