Abstract

This news section offers Cancer readers timely information on events, public policy analysis, topical issues, and personalities. This issue addresses efforts to optimize colonoscopy measures and broaden accessibility to screening in underserved areas. In addition, people who use cannabis—particularly those with a cannabis use disorder—are significantly more likely to develop head and neck cancers than nonusers, and the combination of pembrolizumab and cabozantinib shows promising long‐term disease control and survival for head and neck cancer.
