This branch covers the cancer background a medical writer needs, divided by aspects of the disease: risk and prevention, treatment biology and approaches, and breast cancer in young women. Imaging, trial endpoints, and the development and regulation of medicines belong to their own branches.

  • Cancer risk factors and prevention — inherited and environmental risk, genetic testing, and the evidence behind prevention recommendations
  • Cancer treatments — the biology and approaches behind targeted therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, immunotherapy, and CAR T cells
  • Breast cancer in young women — disease before 40, including tumour biology, quality of life, fertility, and disparities in care and outcomes
