Bhubaneswar: World Cancer Day, observed on February 4, calls us to look beyond the diagnosis and treat the person, not just the disease. The theme “United by Unique” highlights an important truth — no two cancer journeys are the same, and care must reflect each individual’s story. Behind every medical report is a person facing fear, uncertainty, and hope. While advances in cancer treatment have improved survival, healing also depends on empathy, understanding, and support.

Shankar Siva and colleaguespublished their findings on the use of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in primary renal cell cancer in patients who were inoperable due to medical reasons or who did not want surgery. We read this article with curiosity and acknowledge the long and hard work behind such a study.
