Disclaimer
Despite I use systematic review methodology, this is not intended to serve as a formal systematic review for publication. In addition, the article summary is generated by AI (large language models) and may contain inconsistencies or errors. I do not supervise the contents of article selection or summary, is all made by AI. In addition, we do not provide access to the full articles. To read the full articles, you need to have a subcription from the journal or be affiliated to a institution that has access to it.

Search Strategy
This search strategy was optimized to include leading scientific journals from oncology and from general medicine where oncology is the main topic of interest.
("CA Cancer J Clin" [Journal] OR "Lancet Oncol" [Journal] OR "J Clin Oncol" [Journal] OR "Nat Rev Clin Oncol" [Journal] OR "Ann Oncol" [Journal] OR "JAMA Oncology" [Journal] OR "Nature reviews. Cancer" [Journal]) OR (("N Engl J Med" [Journal] OR "BMJ" [Journal] OR "Lancet" [Journal] OR "Nat Med" [Journal] OR "NEJM Evid" [Journal] OR "NEJM AI" [Journal] OR "Nat Rev Dis Primers" [Journal] OR "JAMA" [Journal]) AND ("neoplasms"[MeSH Terms] OR "cancer"[Title/Abstract] OR "carcin*" [Title/Abstract] OR "adenoc*" [Title/Abstract] OR "melanoma"[Title/Abstract])) NOT (comment* [pt])For this review, I classify any article with an impact factor ≥ 10 as a Top-Tier Journal, which in this case are all of them.
AI Review and Scoring
The retrieval from the optimized PubMed query is already very good in selecting oncology related articles. However, to make sure no side-oncology topics are included, I ask the LLM to score based on the following instruction:
Consider studies where the primary focus of research is cancer.Only articles with 40% or more of higher are displayed in this website.
AI Cancer Classification
Journal articles with a score of 40% or higher are further classified into different cancer topics (listed in the sidebar). Although some articles have MESH tags, most don’t have it when first publised and thats the reason why I use AI to classify them.
Time-Frame
Here are displayed only published articles from the past 60 days. Specifically for the latest articles section, we display only the last 45 days because of the number of articles displayed.
