The treatment of cancer patients has undergone numerous advances, especially in the last two decades when changes in surgical techniques, the modernization of radiotherapy, and a better understanding of carcinogenesis (leading to the development of targeted therapy and immunotherapies), in addition to supportive treatment and integration of the multidisciplinary team brought substantial gains in oncological outcomes and better quality of life. In this editorial, expected advances in cancer care for the next decade are listed.
