The 2018 Nobel Prize for medicine has been jointly awarded to
James Allison of the University of Texas and Tasuku Honjo of Japan's Kyoto University ...for discovering a cancer therapy that involves our immune system to attack tumors.
They are the first Nobel Prize recipients of the year, as medicine or physiology is the first of five categories to be given out this week.
However, there will be no laureate for literature this year, as key figures involved in the nomination and selection of winners are involved in a #meToo scandal.
The Swedish Academy, the literature prize-awarding body said in May that it will push back on naming this year's award winner to reform the institution.
Without the literature award, the next most anticipated winner announcement this year would be that of the Nobel Peace prize laureate, to be announced in Oslo on Friday.
