Abstract

Space science is reshaping oncology by providing novel insights into cancer biology, diagnostics, and therapeutics. The unique space environment – characterized by microgravity and cosmic radiation – induces profound alterations in cancer cell behavior, immune responses, and tumor microenvironment (TME) interactions. These conditions offer a platform for studying cancer progression, enhancing drug discovery, and refining treatment strategies. This opinion article explores microgravity-induced changes in tumor biology, space-driven advancements in imaging and radiation research, and extraterrestrial contributions to cancer therapeutics. By leveraging these innovations, space research holds transformative potential for improving cancer diagnostics and treatment on Earth. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
