[Editorial] War in the Middle East: collateral damage
A month after the USA and Israel launched attacks on Iran, Iran and the USA agreed to a conditional 2-week ceasefire on April 8, 2026. However, strikes continued in Lebanon, and after peace talks failed to come to a resolution an end to the war is no closer at the time of writing and the situation in the region remains precarious. Furthermore, the effects of the US–Israel–Iran war are being felt not only in the region, but also globally, and the impact on health care worldwide is under-appreciated and likely long-lasting.

[Comment] AKT-targeted triplet therapy in advanced breast cancer
The advent of CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy has substantially transformed the treatment approach for patients with HR+/HER2– metastatic breast cancer;1 however, acquired resistance inevitably develops, making the optimal sequencing of subsequent targeted therapies a substantial challenge. Aberrant activation of the PI3K/AKT/PTEN signalling axis is frequently identified as a key contributor to CDK4/6 inhibitor cross-resistance, providing a robust biological rationale for therapeutic intervention.

[Comment] Beyond efficacy: CDK4/6 inhibitors in metastatic breast cancer
Over the past decade, phase 3 trials have consistently demonstrated substantial progression-free survival and overall survival improvements with the addition of CDK4/6 inhibitors to endocrine therapy. The meta-analysis of Beshr and colleagues1 in The Lancet Oncology provides the most up-to-date analysis of data from phase 3 trials comparing CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy with endocrine therapy alone. By consolidating survival results, efficacy of this drug class in treatment of HR+/HER2– metastatic breast cancer is reaffirmed.

[Comment] An old tool for new strategies in advanced prostate cancer
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was discovered in 1960 and introduced as a biomarker for prostate cancer in 1987.1 Since then, PSA has been used for screening, detecting recurrence after prostatectomy or radiotherapy, and monitoring treatment response. Early work also demonstrated that PSA concentrations measured 6–9 months after initiating castration represent a major prognostic factor in metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.2

[Comment] Refined outcome prediction in patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma
The rarity and heterogenous presentation of extremity soft tissue sarcomas complicates large-scale studies on diagnosis, disease monitoring, and outcome prediction. Histological subtype, grading, tumour size, location, resectability (with wide margins), administration of adjuvant or neoadjuvant radiotherapy, and chemotherapy all influence oncological outcomes, including local recurrence and risk of distant metastasis, as well as overall survival (figure).1 Given that the estimated prognosis of patients with soft tissue sarcoma guides decisions on individual treatment concepts, patient counselling, and follow-up strategies,2 the accurate prediction of oncological outcomes is important.

[Comment] Academic clinical cancer trials to improve patient outcomes
Cancer clinical trials are conducted by both the commercial and non-commercial sectors. Whereas clinical trials conducted by the commercial sector aim for the marketing authorisation of new drugs, the primary characteristic of independent clinical trials conducted by the academic sector is the capacity to address a wide range of clinical research questions that are generally not addressed by the drug development industry. Crucial examples include the optimisation of surgical and radiation treatments, drug dose and treatment duration, multimodality combinations, sequence of treatments, head-to-head comparison of therapeutic strategies, better identification of patients who will or will not benefit, and addressing the needs of underserved patient populations.

[Correspondence] CAR T-cell therapy at first relapse in myeloma
We congratulate Hermann Einsele and colleagues on their phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 trial, a landmark study poised to reshape the therapeutic landscape of relapsed myeloma. By finding a significant overall survival advantage with ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) compared with pomalidomide–bortezomib–dexamethasone or daratumumab–pomalidomide–dexamethasone in patients with lenalidomide-refractory myeloma with one to three previous lines of therapy, CARTITUDE-4 provides compelling evidence that earlier use of CAR T-cell therapy can alter disease trajectory.

We read with interest the systematic review by C Tang and colleagues1 and compliment the authors for their comprehensive primary analysis of six randomised clinical trials (RCTs) comparing metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) with standard of care (SOC) in oligometastatic prostate cancer. However, we identified several important design concerns and methodological limitations that could compromise the validity and interpretation of the findings.

[Correspondence] How flaws in study design and lead-time bias could affect the interpretation of data – Authors' reply
We thank André Vis and Kim de Vries for their interest in our WOLVERINE study.1 We agree that, optimally, there will be well conducted phase III trials to inform the benefit of metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) for oligometastatic prostate cancer. However, these trials have yet to be reported, and in the interim, clinicians are left with an increasingly common clinical scenario that requires evidence-based direction. The highest-level data available are randomised phase 2 trials. However, heterogeneity exists between these trials given inherent differences and the timeframes over which they were run.

CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy significantly improved survival in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. Benefits in progression-free survival and overall survival were consistent across major clinical subgroups. Although all agents improved progression-free survival, only ribociclib and abemaciclib showed statistically significant overall survival benefits, whereas palbociclib did not, and data for dalpiciclib remain immature. Further head-to-head comparisons and assessments of toxicity profiles, as well as patient-reported outcomes, are needed.

[Articles] Bayesian sequential learning for prognostication in extremity soft tissue sarcoma (BayeSarc): a retrospective, multicentre cohort study
BayeSarc is a continuously updatable, accurate, and precise prognostic tool for soft tissue sarcomas in the extremities. It reduces uncertainty, adapts to temporal changes, and refines variable weights. Its incorporation into the Sarculator app enables immediate clinical use, with potential to improve patient counselling, guide treatment decisions, and refine trial design. More broadly, the BSL framework provides an innovative and generalisable approach to prognostication in rare cancers, moving beyond the traditional two-step development–validation paradigm, enabling more efficient use of patient data.

[Policy Review] Clinical trial endpoints for metastases-directed therapy in oligometastatic cancer: a review and Delphi consensus on behalf of the EORTC–ESTRO OligoCare consortium
Oligometastatic cancer is characterised by a low volume of metastases to a small number of anatomical sites. However, evaluating the impact of metastases-directed therapies (MDTs) on overall survival or quality of life is often challenging. Current clinical trials use a wide range of primary endpoints that might not be validated or suited to MDT. To address this issue, we did a systematic review of international trial registries, alongside a Delphi consensus process involving 30 experts and five patient representatives.

[Policy Review] International multisociety Delphi consensus for liver tumour thermal ablation: procedural and practice standards
Thermal ablation offers a safer, less invasive, and more cost-effective curative-intent treatment for selected patients with primary and metastatic liver tumours than surgery; when done with appropriate technique, ablation can deliver similar oncological outcomes. However, effectiveness in routine practice varies because structured training, planning, and procedural governance remain scarce. These international multidisciplinary, multi-society guidelines—formally endorsed by the European Society of Surgical Oncology, the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe, and the Society of Interventional Oncology—define key domains contributing to procedural difficulty and practice variation in liver tumour thermal ablation.

Cytokine receptor and JAK/STAT pathway mutations in acute myeloid leukemia: Prevalence and clinical impact
Cy‐JAK/STAT pathway mutations are uncommon in AML, but each mutation has distinct biologic and clinical characteristics. The worse survival observed in patients with JAK2‐mutated AML largely appeared to be driven by the co‐occurrence of high‐risk characteristics. Blast‐phase MPN was associated with a dismal prognosis.

[Editorial] Mental health at the heart of haematology
May is a time to elevate mental health awareness. In the USA, May is designated as Mental Health Awareness Month; Europe marks Mental Health Week (May 4–8); and the UK observes Mental Health Awareness Week (May 11–17). These events invite a renewed collective focus on connection, resilience, and hope for the more than one billion people worldwide who live with mental health conditions, placing a substantial burden on individuals and health systems. Yet, our understanding of mental health within the fields of haematology and haematological oncology remains limited.

[Comment] Two decades of phase 1 and 2 trials in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Since the year 2000, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have authorised many novel cancer therapies based on phase 1–2 single-arm trials.1,2 Most of these were granted as conditional marketing authorisations (EMA) or Accelerated Approvals (FDA), which aim to provide early access to promising therapies in diseases with high unmet medical need. Acknowledging that single-arm trials can show biological activity but cannot reliably establish whether an experimental treatment is better than the current standard, these approvals are contingent on demonstration of clinical benefit in subsequent confirmatory randomised trials.

[In Focus] From enrolment to authorship: racial and global disparities in phase 3 multiple myeloma clinical trials
Clinical trials in multiple myeloma continue to fail populations most affected by the disease, with Black individuals remaining profoundly underrepresented in the studies that define contemporary treatment standards. Multiple myeloma is the second most common haematological malignancy, and the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years attributable to the disease have increased over time, with mortality rates remaining high. Despite this burden, the therapeutic landscape of multiple myeloma has been transformed by the development of novel agents evaluated in clinical trials, resulting in substantial improvements in survival and meaningful gains in quality of life.

[Review] Who will watch the watchmen: unique challenges of T-cell redirecting therapies in T-cell malignancies
The development of novel T-cell redirecting immune therapies—including immune checkpoint inhibitors, bispecific antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, and virus-specific T cells—represents a major advancement in the treatment of haematological malignancies. Although such therapies have strong evidence for efficacy in the treatment of B-cell neoplasms, several unique challenges are encountered when using these therapies for the treatment of T-cell malignancies. In this Review, we discuss the application of T-cell modulating immune therapies in T-cell neoplasms, with a focus on the complicated bidirectional interactions between malignant and bystander T cells in disease pathogenesis, and the resultant challenges affecting the design and deliverability of T-cell modulating therapies in this cohort.

[Review] Guidelines for the management of acute porphyria: recommendations from the International Porphyria Network
Autosomal dominant acute porphyrias are rare inherited disorders of haem biosynthesis characterised by accumulation of potentially neurotoxic porphyrin precursors and attacks of severe abdominal pain with autonomic and neuropsychiatric features. Disease severity ranges from asymptomatic individuals to those with recurrent, life-threatening attacks. The International Porphyria Network invited 34 acute porphyria specialists from 17 countries to form an expert panel. The invited group included clinicians from diverse specialities (ie, internal medicine, haematology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hepatology, neurology, and biochemistry), together with laboratory scientists and patient representatives.

[Clinical Picture] An otherwise smouldering multiple myeloma with a solitary osteolytic lesion and soft-tissue mass
A 69-year-old woman was referred to our department after monoclonal gammopathy was detected during routine testing. Her medical history included dyslipidaemia, hypothyroidism, and right hip replacement due to congenital dysplasia. Physical examination, complete blood count, and serum biochemical tests were unremarkable. Immunofixation revealed monoclonal IgGλ (total IgG 1060 mg/dL), with a normal free light chain (FLC) ratio. Urine immunofixation was negative. A bone marrow biopsy showed 12% clonal plasma cell infiltration, consistent with smouldering multiple myeloma (SMM) pending whole-body, low-dose CT (WBLD–CT).

A 67-year-old woman was diagnosed with nodal marginal zone lymphoma with IgMκ paraproteinaemia, circulating monoclonal B cells, multifocal lymph node involvement (MYD88WT), and splenomegaly. Rituximab monotherapy yielded partial metabolic remission on PET–CT and an IgM concentration decrease from 15·4 g/L to 12·4 g/L (normal range: 0·4–2·3 g/L). However, the patient reported severe progressive diarrhoea (up to 50 times per day). A 13 kg weight loss resulted in total parenteral nutrition dependence.

A metabolism-specific drug-repurposing screen reveals itraconazole as a potent OXPHOS inhibitor in acute myeloid leukemia
Although targeting mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) can overcome treatment resistance in preclinical acute myeloid leukemia (AML) models, currently available OXPHOS inhibitors have shown limited potency in clinical trials. In a Plenary Paper, Himonas et al report a nutrient-sensing drug-repurposing screen identifying itraconazole, a US Food and Drug Administration–approved antifungal agent, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial metabolism in AML. Itraconazole targets therapy-resistant AML cells, particularly when combined with cytarabine, through inhibition of electron transport chain complex I activity. As azole antifungals are routinely used for fungal prophylaxis in patients with AML, this approach should be easily amenable to clinical testing.

Prognostic factors and progression biomarkers in AL amyloidosis: mapping current knowledge and critical gaps
While daratumumab-based regimens have transformed therapy for light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, a gap has emerged between current outcomes and prognostic models derived from patients treated with earlier therapies. In a Special Report, Chakraborty et al review prognostic factors and progression biomarkers in AL amyloidosis, noting that some traditional baseline markers are losing predictive value. In contrast, newer approaches such as minimal residual disease assessment by free light-chain mass spectrometry and advanced cardiac imaging parameters may offer greater prognostic utility. Further validation and refinement of prognostic models are needed to identify high-risk patients who may benefit from additional therapy.

Revisiting clinical response and refractoriness in immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Refractory thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) has historically been reported to occur in 10% to 40% of patients with TTP, but these estimates do not reflect the incorporation of caplacizumab into frontline therapy. In a multicenter registry study of 204 patients, Kühne et al demonstrate that refractoriness during caplacizumab treatment in immune TTP is uncommon and, when observed, is typically associated with confounding clinical factors. These findings underscore the importance of careful clinical reassessment and evaluation for alternative etiologies in patients with delayed platelet recovery, rather than attributing such cases to true treatment resistance.

Self-reinforcing IL-1β signaling accelerates the development and recurrence of TCF3::HLF-positive B-ALL
TCF3::HLF-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is a rare, highly fatal leukemia characterized by poor outcomes and severe osteolysis. Suzuki et al leveraged a newly developed mouse model of highly aggressive TCF3::HLF-driven B-ALL to uncover a previously unrecognized dependency on a proinflammatory interleukin-1β (IL-1β)–RANKL axis. They show that IL-1β and RANKL promote leukemia progression and osteoclast activation, whereas IL-1β blockade suppresses leukemic proliferation and mitigates bone destruction. This study provides important mechanistic insight into this rare leukemia subtype and identifies actionable therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Regulatory-like FOXP3+Helios+CD4+ T conventional cells correlate with T-cell activation after Orca-T immunotherapy
The Orca-T allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant product, which delivers purified CD4+CD25+CD127 regulatory T cells with hematopoietic stem cells followed by delayed infusion of conventional T cells, improves chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)–free survival in clinical trials, but its mechanism remains unclear. Bader et al identified a transient regulatory-like CD4+ conventional T-cell population that emerges early after Orca-T therapy and correlates with tolerance-associated immune reconstitution after both Orca-T and standard allogeneic transplantation. These findings suggest that the timing and composition of transferred T cells can imprint durable immune states and may inform comparisons with other GVHD prevention strategies, including posttransplant cyclophosphamide.

Multiomic study of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma reveals single-cell clonal evolution in progression and therapy resistance
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma remains difficult to treat because of therapy resistance. Dorando et al analyzed longitudinal multiomic data from 34 patients at progression, identifying recurrent clonal genomic alterations and key oncogenic and immune regulatory pathways. Clonal evolution in resistant disease is enriched for epigenetic modifiers, immune signaling, and checkpoint pathways, highlighting mechanisms of immune evasion and supporting integrated omics to predict refractoriness and guide therapy.

A retrospective, real-world study of IV iron use to treat iron deficiency anemia during acute infection
Iron deficiency anemia is common in hospitalized patients with infection, but IV iron is often withheld because of concerns that it may worsen outcomes. In a propensity-matched retrospective study described in this month’s CME article, Sohail et al show that IV iron given during acute infection with iron deficiency anemia is associated with improved 14-day and 90-day survival as well as hemoglobin recovery. Although this report has the limitations of a retrospective study, these findings challenge current practice and support randomized trials that include patients with infection.

Von Willebrand factor deficiency impairs angiogenesis via angiopoietin-2: relevance for gut angiodysplasia
In patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD), recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding is associated with the presence of angiodysplasia. Constantinescu-Bercu et al show that endothelial von Willebrand factor regulates multiple steps of angiogenesis, including sprouting and lumen formation controlling the storage and expression of angiopoietin-2. Blocking angiopoietin-2 normalizes defective angiogenesis in VWD endothelial colony-forming cells, providing a rationale for therapeutic angiopoietin-2 inhibition in patients with VWD-associated gastrointestinal bleeding and angiodysplasia.

Radiotherapy de-escalation in breast cancer patients with pathologic complete response: An integrated analysis using real-world and simulated data
Advances in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have markedly increased pathologic complete response (pCR) rates in breast cancer, prompting reevaluation of the need for adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in patients with excellent treatment response. The NSABP B-51 trial showed no survival benefit from regional nodal irradiation in patients achieving nodal pCR after NAC; whole-breast RT was still routinely delivered irrespective of breast response. Thus, the potential to safely omit RT in patients achieving breast pCR remains uncertain.

Radiation-Induced Vaginal Stenosis in Cervical Cancer Patients in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Scoping Review
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide [1,2] with over 600,000 new cases and over 300,000 deaths annually [3]. The burden is disproportionately higher among women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where more than 85% of cervical cancer-related deaths occur due to limited access to screening, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, other HPV prevention strategies [3,4]. The global prevalence of cervical cancer is projected to increase by 14–17% by 2030 if no intervention is made to increase the availability of screening and protective vaccinations [5].

Measure What Matters: Rethinking Surrogate Metrics of Success in Radiation Oncology
Census-based surrogates such as patients on treatment, fractions delivered, and course length have traditionally been used to assess radiation oncology departmental performance. These measures may no longer capture the complexities of modern radiotherapy, given the increased adoption of hypofractionation and stereotactic techniques. This study analyzes longitudinal trends in clinical operations, including treatment modalities, fractionation patterns, and financial performance, to identify value-based departmental performance metrics.

Peripheral PD-1⁺CD8⁺ T-cell TCR Dynamics During Radiation Therapy Predict Survival in Unresectable Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved outcomes for patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). However, reliable biomarkers for predicting response to immunotherapy remain limited. Among circulating immune cells, PD-1⁺CD8⁺ T cells represent an activated subset that directly responds to PD-1 blockade. Profiling the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire within this population may reflect antitumor immune activity and holds promise as noninvasive, blood-based biomarker.

Emerging trends in the global burden of colorectal cancer
The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) has historically been the highest among Western, high-income countries but is now increasing globally beyond these regions. Early-onset CRC (diagnosed before the age of 50 years) has been the main driver of this rise, and risk factors including dietary and lifestyle aspects, the gut microbiota and environmental contaminants have been proposed to underlie these epidemiological trends. The authors of this Review discuss the available evidence on these risk factors, highlighting how the under-representation of non-Western populations in these studies is limiting progress.
