Thousands gathered on Sunday in front of the Palacio de San Telmo in Seville to protest failures in breast cancer screenings in Andalusia and demand the resignation of Junta president Juan Manuel Moreno. Organized by the Amama association, the event highlights the deterioration of public health and impacts at least 2,317 women not informed of their results. The Andalusian government offers dialogue, while the PP labels the rally a failure.
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines linked to longer survival in some lung and skin cancer patients on immunotherapy

A large retrospective study from the University of Florida and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, published in Nature, reports that patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic melanoma lived significantly longer if they received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 mRNA shot within 100 days of starting immune checkpoint inhibitors. The authors stress the findings are observational and will require confirmation in randomized trials.
mRNA covid vaccines may boost cancer immunotherapy survival
An analysis of nearly 1,000 cancer patients shows that mRNA covid-19 vaccines, given soon after starting immune checkpoint inhibitors, nearly doubled survival times for advanced lung and skin cancers. The findings, presented at a medical congress in Berlin, suggest an unexpected immune boost from the vaccines. A clinical trial to confirm these results is set to begin before year's end.

Japanese researchers report that hair graying and melanoma can arise from the same melanocyte stem cells, which take different paths depending on DNA damage and local signals. Published online October 6, 2025 in Nature Cell Biology, the University of Tokyo-led study outlines a protective differentiation program that promotes graying and how carcinogens can subvert it to favor melanoma.
Immune drug reduces risk of Merkel cell carcinoma spread
A large clinical trial has shown that the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab may help prevent the deadly spread of Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer, after surgery. While it did not significantly reduce overall recurrence rates, the treatment lowered the risk of distant metastases by 42%. The findings offer hope for patients facing this fast-developing disease.

Study confirms rise in cancer cases among adults under 50
A new international analysis reveals an increase in six types of cancer among adults aged 20 to 49 in 42 countries, mainly linked to obesity and sedentarism. Except for colorectal cancer, these tumors are also rising in those over 50. Experts urge investigating causes and enhancing prevention.
Weaponised CAR T-cell therapy eradicates prostate tumours in mice
Researchers have developed a modified CAR T-cell therapy that completely eliminated large solid prostate tumours in mice, offering hope for treating solid cancers in humans. The approach localises immune-stimulating proteins to tumours, avoiding damage to healthy tissues. Clinical trials could begin within two years.
