Oncology has undergone a dramatic transformation over recent decades, moving from late diagnoses and limited therapies to precision medicine, immunotherapy, earlier detection and greater patient involvement. Conversations increasingly include cure as an achievable goal.
In 2025, OncoDaily recognizes 100 influential people who have built modern oncology and continue to push it forward. The 100 Most Influential People in Oncology in 2025 highlights changemakers who have shaped current practice and continue to drive innovation, research, advocacy, philanthropy, leadership and education.
OncoDaily will continue to acknowledge, honor and elevate the many deserving individuals not included on this list across its daily publications.
