Medical advancements in oncology and hematology are improving patient prognoses across various cancer types. In September 2026, discussions at a national meeting in Madrid highlighted how molecular knowledge, targeted therapies, and cell therapies are advancing care for lymphomas, leukemias, and multiple myeloma. Experts also emphasized the necessity of early detection and multidisciplinary care for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

Subsequent reports indicate further progress, including the approval of a new drug for pancreatic cancer in the United States, which offers improved options for patients with limited existing treatments. In the field of hematology, research such as the MRD2STOP study has shown significant results for multiple myeloma, with 92 percent of patients remaining free of detectable residual disease three years after ending maintenance therapy. Additionally, patient access to specific drug programs for myeloma has more than doubled in Poland between 2023 and 2025.
