	This article is supported by the Hematology-oncology task force.

Please update section "Research"[edit]

Please update the section with info from/about these or some of these studies / their researched categories of experimental treatments. They are currently included in 2022 in science like so:

Progress in the treatment of cancer:
A very small trial shows complete remission of a type of colorectal cancer without surgery and radiation in all 12 patients.^[1]^[2] On the same day, results of a trial show that trastuzumab deruxtecan therapy for HER2-low metastatic breast cancer exceeded results from chemotherapy.^[3]^[4] The synthesis of ERX-41, a novel compound that has shown promise in eliminating cancer cells, is reported (2 June).^[5] Researchers describe a new light-activated 'photoimmunotherapy' for brain cancer in vitro. They believe it could join surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy as a fifth major form of cancer treatment (16 June).^[6]^[7]

There's probably also quite a few other types / categories of treatments described/demonstrated to notable level in trials/studies that are missing.

The top of the section section could also have some more info about how, who, where, to what extent, by what means and why such treatments are studied – for example how it's funded, the needs/motivations for doing so, metascience identified problems & open questions such as reproducibility issues, 21st Century Cures Act#Medical research and diagrams (maybe via Scholia or OpenAlex). This could all go into a new subsection.

Please also see my related & similar proposal at Talk:Cancer biomarker#Please update with info on new biomarkers

I'd suggest some publicly-funded non-profit independent cancer-related organization/researcher (e.g. NHS, WHO, NCI, EORTC, etc) gets tasked with non-authoritatively (very independently) updating, maintaining and cleaning the article but other people could do this (instead of only additionally) too.

It is missing info on useful/efficacious/potentially efficacious sometimes well-researched options of "Complementary and alternative treatments". If they are only useful in combination and/or in combination with more conventional/more intensive treatments they can be informed about in this section. This could include (various ultimately specific applications of) AMPK and cancer, and Diet and cancer.

The article should probably get far more views from people interested in this which I think are far more than the ~4000 per month currently reading the article. Not sure how it would be achieved, maybe increasing the quality of the article makes it more visible to search engines. It may also require good redirects, wikilinks from other articles like Cancer, and so on instead or additionally too.

Maybe transcluding the first paragraph of most sections of Experimental cancer treatment would be a good solution here, at least it would be good to not leave out various specific experimental treatments instead of at least naming them and not to have relatively excessive details on some other specific treatments. Short sections for the most advanced treatments in research and bullet-point list of the remaining ones would be the solution I think would be best.

Please comment what you think below. I also posted about this at Talk:Experimental cancer treatment.
