Incyte tops this list due to its rare combination of commercial scale, cash generation, and pipeline depth. The company posted FY2025 revenue of $5.14 billion, up 21.2% YoY, anchored by Jakafi generating $828.2 million in Q4 2025 alone (+7% YoY) and Opzelura delivering $207.3 million (+28% YoY). With $3.58 billion in cash and 14 pivotal clinical trials underway, Incyte offers an acquirer immediate revenue, margin expansion potential, and a deep oncology pipeline spanning KRASG12D, CDK2 inhibition, and mutCALR.

A report last year found unnecessary surgeries were carried out, cancers were missed and poor standards of care were delivered at the University Hospital of North Durham and Darlington Memorial Hospital. CDDTF said it wanted to support the patients it had let down, including by offering access to psychological support, and to ensure they knew how to make a claim or raise concerns with police.

On Tuesday the American Cancer Society (ACS) released its annual report on cancer statistics in the U.S., and it offered a rare bit of good news: the proportion of people who were alive at least five years after a cancer diagnosis hit a record high. The report found that, among all cancer patients diagnosed between 2015 and 2021 in the U.S., the survival rate at the five-year mark relative to those who didn't have cancer was 70 percent.

For years, scientists have viewed cancer as a localized glitch in which cells refuse to stop dividing. But a new study suggests that, in certain organs, tumors actively communicate with the brain to trick it into protecting them. Scientists have long known that nerves grow into some tumors and that tumors containing lots of nerves usually lead to a worse prognosis.

When Lisa Dutton was declared free of breast cancer in 2017, she took a moment to celebrate with family and friends, even though she knew her cancer journey might not be over. As many as one-third of people whose breast tumours are cleared see the disease come back, sometimes decades later. Many other cancers are known to recur in the years following an initial treatment, some at much higher rates.

Although specific bacterial taxa have been associated with favourable clinical responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in cancer patients12,13,18,19,20,21,22, the mechanisms by which the intestinal microbiota influences anti-tumour immune responses remain poorly defined. Products of the microbiota, including metabolites23,24,25 and innate receptor ligands26, may reprogramme myeloid cells27, lowering the activation threshold for antigen presentation and thereby facilitating priming and activation of tumour-reactive T cells.

Eduardo Vilar-Sanchez has spent more than 10 years pursuing a goal that seemed very distant, but which he now sees as a little closer: to develop a preventive vaccine against cancer. The physician and researcher is leading a study that presented the first promising results of a colon cancer vaccine in a small group of patients suffering from a rare disease that makes them 17 times more likely to develop colon cancer than the general population.

Anais Muczynski, 36, an orthoptist who lives with her husband Vincent Muczynski, 41, a researcher, received her primary breast cancer diagnosis in January 2023 after discovering a quail egg-sized lump in her left breast. At the time, the London-based couple were "optimistic", as it was stage one meaning the cancer was only in the breast tissue or in the lymph nodes close to the breast and she underwent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and a double mastectomy.

As for side effects, the companies reported that little had changed from previous analyses; adverse events were similar between the two groups. The top side effects linked to the vaccine were fatigue, injection site pain, and chills. The results "highlight the potential of a prolonged benefit" of the vaccine combined with Keytruda in patients with high-risk melanoma," Kyle Holen, a senior vice president at Moderna, said. They also "illustrate mRNA's potential in cancer care," he said, noting that the company has eight more Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials going for mRNA vaccines against a variety of other cancers, including lung, bladder, and kidney cancers.

The cancer was fastacting, and if I'd left it even six months, the outcome could have been much worse,
