Challenges in the future of cancer screening

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 8, Page 2013-2022, 15 April 2026.
Abstract The purpose of cancer screening is to reduce mortality, and ideally incidence, from the cancer screened for. Until recently, cancer screening has been offered to all persons in pre‐defined sex‐ and age‐groups. The exception is lung screening which is targeted to high‐risk individuals.

Emerging role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 in the mechanism of action and resistance to anticancer therapies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a transcription factor, is a master regulator of an array of genes related to oxidative and electrophilic stress that promote and maintain redox homeostasis. NRF2 function is well studied in in vitro, animal and

Phthalocyanine aggregates as semiconductor-like photocatalysts for hypoxic-tumor photodynamic immunotherapy

open access: yesNature Communications
Photodynamic immunotherapy (PIT) has emerged as a promising approach for efficient eradication of primary tumors and inhibition of tumor metastasis. However, most of photosensitizers (PSs) for PIT exhibit notable oxygen dependence.

Carcinogenic Medications: A Review of Specific Agents and Molecular Mechanisms of Carcinogenesis

open access: yesCancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pharmacovigilance has revealed an alarming correlation between certain medications and a higher risk of cancer. In this narrative review, included research from 2020 to 2025, along with a few seminal older studies, so that it provides a clear picture of which drugs actually set off cancer and mechanisms involved at the molecular ...
