[Editorial] The promise of telesurgery in oncology
In early 2026, 62-year-old Gibraltar resident Paul Buxton had a successful robotic prostatectomy to treat his prostate cancer. His surgeon was 2400 km away in London, UK. In mid-2025, a surgeon in Florida, USA, performed the same surgery on a patient in Angola, Africa—the longest distance telesurgery recorded to date. Once the realm of science fiction, telesurgery is rapidly transforming surgical oncology, with the potential to bridge health equity gaps and overcome health-system barriers, facilitating access to high-quality surgical care in remote and underserved regions and relieving global workforce shortages.

[Comment] Beyond monotherapy: chemotherapy-free strategies in first-line advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
For more than a decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have played a central part in the treatment landscape of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1 These therapies have improved survival both as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy and altered expectations for patients with metastatic disease. Yet their benefit is not universal. A substantial proportion of patients (∼18%) derive little or no clinical improvement, and some experience rapid deterioration with primary resistance.

[Comment] KRASG12C inhibitor combination therapy in metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer: choosing the right path
KRAS has long been regarded as an indomitable oncogenic driver which defines a distinct and therapeutically elusive class of solid tumours. The recent advent of direct KRAS inhibitors has fundamentally altered the drug development landscape of KRAS-mutated tumours, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The first entrants in this class used a unique mechanism of action which inhibited KRASG12C by irreversibly binding to its inactive GDP-bound conformation at the switch-II binding pocket (KRASG12C[OFF] inhibitors).

Historically, perioperative cisplatin based neoadjuvant therapy has remained the gold standard for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. In the past 5 years, several practice changing trials have enabled the incorporation of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the perioperative setting for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The phase 3 NIAGARA study led to the approval of durvalumab in combination with gemcitabine or cisplatin followed by adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy.1 The CheckMate-274 and AMBASSADOR trials showed improved outcomes in patients treated with adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Since 1992, the surgical treatment for melanoma has substantially changed,1 and in clinically negative nodal basin, elective lymph node dissection has been overtaken by the sentinel node biopsy (SNB) followed by complete lymph node dissection in the case of positivity to SNB at the histopathological report. Many different studies have examined these methods, looking at specific subclinical features such as micro-metastases or macro-metastases,2 SNB tumour burden,3 number of SNBs, number of positive non-sentinel lymph nodes, and number of excised non-sentinel lymph nodes.

Expansion of genetic testing to the general population is one of the ambitions of the UK Government's 2025 10-year Health Plan for England, as part of a strategy for transition from “sickness to prevention”.1 Identification of individuals at increased cancer risk due to pathogenic variants in cancer susceptibility genes, leading to targeted screening and prioritisation of risk reduction strategies is one potential benefit of this approach. However, there are many outstanding questions about the impact on health-care services.

[Correspondence] ALND after neoadjuvant chemotherapy: a call for caution
We read with interest the Article by Giacomo Montagna and colleagues1 evaluating oncological outcomes in patients with residual nodal micrometastatic disease (ypN1mi) following neoadjuvant systemic therapy. Although the study contributes important data on axillary management, the recommendation favouring completion axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer warrants cautious interpretation given key limitations and conflicting evidence.

[Correspondence] ALND after neoadjuvant chemotherapy: a call for caution
We read with great interest the Article by Giacomo Montagna and colleagues,1 which addresses a pivotal question in contemporary breast cancer care—if axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) can be safely omitted in patients with residual micrometastases (ypN1mi) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Their multinational cohort provides much-needed outcome data to inform surgical de-escalation strategies. However, the significantly higher axillary recurrence rate observed in patients with triple-negative breast cancer who did not undergo ALND (8·7% [95% CI 4·4–15·0] vs 2·4% [0·7–6·5]; p=0·018) warrants careful interpretation before this finding influences clinical practice.

The rate of axillary recurrence among the 127 patients who had triple-negative breast cancer but did not undergo completion ALND was higher than it was among the 157 who did (8·7% [95% CI 4·4–15·0] vs 2·4% [0·7–6·5], p=0·018).

[News] Conflict disrupts global supply chains for cancer medicines
Disruptions to pharmaceutical transport routes linked to the escalating conflict in the Middle East are raising alarms about the fragility of cancer medicine supply chains in low-income and middle-income countries, particularly across Africa. Routes commonly used to carry temperature-sensitive medicines—including chemotherapy drugs and other oncology supplies—have been affected as airlines and shippers avoid conflict zones, increasing costs and delaying deliveries. For patients already navigating fragile health systems, even short interruptions can have serious consequences.

[News] 41st Annual European Association of Urology Congress 2026
Improved risk stratification in prostate testing could ensure effective resource allocation, according to results from the OPT Stockholm3 study. In the population-based study, Ugo Falagario and colleagues (University of Foggia, Foggia, Italy) assessed whether reflex testing with Stockholm3 after PSA testing could reduce the proportion of men referred for MRI versus a PSA-only pathway. The OPT Stockholm3 pathway invited all men in the Region Stockholm Gotland in 2024 (born in 1974; Stockholm3 testing if PSA ≥2 ng/mL and if Stockholm3 ≥15 MRI) and 2023 (born in 1973; MRI if PSA ≥3 ng/mL).

[Perspectives] Spaceflight as a cancer research catalyst
As we venture further into space and increasingly use low Earth orbit for in-space manufacturing, the potential for the development of innovative technologies appears to be infinite. For these discoveries, led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), international space agencies, and commercial companies, the International Space Station (ISS) provides a transformative research platform 250 miles above us in low Earth orbit. Although it might not be immediately obvious how research done hundreds of miles above our planet could be used to improve life terrestrially, studies in low Earth orbit have revealed accelerated stem-cell ageing; immune dysfunction; and genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic instability that set the stage for cancer initiation and progression.

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are increasingly recognised for their role in assessing tolerability in dose-finding oncology trials (DFOTs). However, analysis and reporting of PRO data within DFOTs are often unclear and inconsistent. OPTIMISE-AR (Incorporating Patient-Reported Outcomes in Dose-Finding Trials–Analysis Recommendations) establishes a practical toolkit supporting the statistical analysis, visualisation, and reporting of PRO data within DFOT publications. International, multidisciplinary, cross-sector statistical analysis and data visualisation working groups identified analytical and visualisation approaches for PROs data, addressing key DFOT PRO research objectives.

[Editorial] From diagnosis to equitable care in bleeding disorders
Up to three-quarters of people with haemophilia worldwide are estimated to be undiagnosed, with an even bigger gap predicted for other bleeding disorders. This astonishing statistic underlies the focus of this year's World Haemophilia Day, on April 17, on diagnosis: a first step to care. Even when people are diagnosed, there are substantial inequalities in access to treatment and bleeding prophylaxis in many parts of the world. 2026 could mark a crucial year for turning the tide on these issues, with the recent approval of a World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution on Global Action to Advance Health Equity for People with Hemophilia and Other Bleeding Disorders, which will be presented at the 79th WHA on May 18–23, 2026, for final adoption.

[Comment] Updated anaemia estimates: implications for global monitoring
In 2024, WHO updated haemoglobin thresholds and revised the adjustments for altitude and smoking.1 The earlier elevation adjustments were established in 1989 and were based on a demographically limited subset of populations and did not adequately represent the diversity of global populations. The 2024 updated elevation adjustment was based on the Biomarkers Reflecting Inflammation and Nutritional Determinants of Anemia (BRINDA) project, which leverages multinational surveys with broader geographical and demographic representation than previous methods.

[Comment] Maintenance intensification after autologous HSCT: refining selection
In The Lancet Haematology, Dominik Dytfeld and colleagues1 report the findings from the phase 3 ATLAS trial, comparing carfilzomib–lenalidomide–dexamethasone with lenalidomide alone as maintenance therapy after autologous haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Lenalidomide monotherapy has long been the global standard of care in this setting, based on consistent improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival.2 With a median follow-up of nearly 6 years, carfilzomib–lenalidomide–dexamethasone maintenance significantly improved 4-year progression-free survival (67·5% [95% CI 56·2–76·4] vs 38·0% [27·6–48·2]; hazard ratio 0·46 [95% CI 0·30–0·70]) with a manageable safety profile.

[Correspondence] Patient selection and treatment sequencing in RESMAIN
The RESMAIN trial by Rudolf Stadler and colleagues, published in The Lancet Haematology, showed that resminostat maintenance therapy significantly prolonged median progression-free survival (median 8·3 months, 95% CI 4·2–15·7) compared with placebo (4·2 months, 2·8–6·4) in patients with advanced-stage mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome.1 These diseases are characterised by repeated cycles of remission and relapse. Therefore, progression-free survival does not carry the same clinical implications as in acute leukaemia or solid tumours, in which relapse is often associated with worse survival.

I would like to thank Takashi Miyachi and colleagues for their Correspondence regarding the RESMAIN trial. The most prevalent forms of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma are mycosis fungoides and its variants, as well as Sézary syndrome. According to the current guidelines, in the early stages of the disease, the recommended therapeutic approach is based on skin-directed therapies. In more advanced stages of the disease, the recommended treatment involves primarily non-toxic systemic drugs, such as pegylated interferon, bexarotene, and combinations with radiotherapy or extracorporeal photopheresis.

[Viewpoint] Building safeguards for gene therapy in haemophilia
Haemophilia care has progressed through successive therapeutic revolutions, from plasma-derived and recombinant factor replacement to extended half-life products and non-factor therapies. The introduction of gene therapy, with currently approved approaches using adeno-associated viral vectors to deliver functional copies of the factor VIII or IX gene into hepatocytes, now represents the next paradigm shift: a one-time, irreversible intervention designed to restore endogenous factor production. Although early results are promising, the experience of transfusion transmitted infections reminds the haemophilia community that innovation must be matched by vigilance, transparency, and accountability.

[Viewpoint] Balancing the benefits and risks of rebalancing coagulation in haemophilia
Rebalancing agents represent a novel therapeutic class in haemophilia, designed to restore the deficient thrombin generation that underlies bleeding. Unlike factor replacement or factor VIII mimetic therapies, rebalancing agents act by downregulating natural anticoagulants. By partially inhibiting these physiological brakes of coagulation, they induce a controlled and reversible procoagulant shift. These agents have shown clinically meaningful reductions in bleeding rates across both haemophilia A and B, including in patients with inhibitors.

Bone marrow failure, somatic rescue by p53 inactivation, and enhanced leukemogenesis in germ line ERCC6L2 disease
Germ line homozygous loss-of-function mutations in ERCC6L2 cause bone marrow failure (BMF) with a high risk of transformation to myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia. The leukemias are typically categorized as acute erythroid leukemias, which almost uniformly (>90%) harbor biallelic TP53 mutations. In a Plenary Paper, Schimmer and colleagues provide insights to disease evolution by demonstrating that p53 loss can rescue BMF phenotypes caused by biallelic mutations in ERCC6L2, but at the cost of profound genome instability, increasing DNA damage and leading to the onset of aggressive erythroid leukemia.

A decade of ibrutinib for CLL with and without TP53 aberration: final report on an investigator-sponsored phase 2 study
The first-in-class covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib has transformed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) therapy over the last 15 years. Itsara and colleagues report 10-year follow-up of the treatment of CLL with ibrutinib in 84 patients, demonstrating a median progression-free survival of 9 years in frontline CLL and 4.1 years in relapsed CLL. Survival outcomes in patients with TP53 mutations were improved compared to those in historic controls but still shorter than those in patients without TP53 aberrations. This study underscores the remarkable durability and depth of response achieved with ibrutinib in CLL.

Brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy for nonbulky, early-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma
Most patients with early-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) are treated with chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy. Abramson and colleagues report the efficacy and safety of the anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin (BV) and the anti-PD1 antibody nivolumab in combination with doxorubicin and dacarbazine chemotherapy (AN+AD) for the treatment of nonbulky cHL in 154 patients. Four cycles of AN+AD achieve a complete response rate of 92% (95% confidence interval [CI], 86.0%-95.4%) and an estimated 2-year progression-free survival rate of 97% (95% CI, 92.0%-98.8%). These encouraging data support the use of BV and nivolumab in regimens for patients with early-stage cHL.

Clonal hematopoiesis and lymphoma-associated mutations in hematopoietic progenitors in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Although the association between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and myeloid malignancy is well established, the relationship between CH and lymphoid malignant disease is not well understood. Wiegand and colleagues evaluated the prevalence and hematopoietic localization of CH and lymphoma-associated mutations in a cohort of patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL). They observed a higher incidence of clonal mutations in the peripheral blood of patients with indolent B-cell lymphomas than in the peripheral blood of patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas. Importantly, they show that disease-initiating clones are found in the stem/progenitor compartment in indolent B-NHLs and demonstrate clonal expansion in the B-cell lineage.

A phase 3 study of intensive chemotherapy with or without dasatinib in core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia
The putative KIT (multikinase) inhibitor dasatinib has shown promising results for the treatment of core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF AML) in preclinical and small pilot studies. Döhner and colleagues report the results of a randomized phase 3 prospective clinical trial with chemotherapy-fit adults with CBF AML, comparing standard induction therapy to standard induction chemotherapy plus dasatinib. The addition of dasatinib to chemotherapy failed to improve event-free and overall survival in patients with CBF AML and appeared to increase toxicity. This negative study underscores the importance of randomized prospective clinical trials and puts to rest the use of dasatinib for CBF AML.

Heat stress activates the coagulation cascade through Z-DNA-binding protein 1–dependent necroptosis
Heatstroke is a life-threatening condition characterized by severe coagulation dysfunction. Li and colleagues report a new pathway of heat stress causing intravascular coagulation, mediated by a Z-DNA-binding protein 1–RIPK3–MLKL axis triggering cell death by necroptosis. This heat stress evokes necroptosis in myeloid cells, unleashing tissue factor (TF) activation through cell surface exposure of phosphatidylserine and triggering activation of the extrinsic pathway of coagulation via TF-carrying extracellular vesicles. This preclinical study reveals several new candidate targets for heatstroke therapy.

Gastrin for the treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease of the stomach
Gawron and colleagues, with a clever combination of human studies, stomach organoids, and mouse models of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), report that GVHD disrupts the gastrin–cholecystokinin B receptor axis and leads to rapid loss of gastric stem cells. Pentagastrin treatment ameliorates immune injury and repairs stem and parietal cells, also at sites beyond the stomach. This work has the potential to influence the management of upper gastrointestinal GVHD by identifying disease-modifying therapies.

However, technological breakthroughs have recently emerged to dramatically improve lung MRI quality (including signal-to-noise ratio, resolution, speed, contrast). At the same time, novel treatments have changed the landscape of CF clinical care.

Endobronchial Valves for the Treatment of Advanced Emphysema
Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with one-way endobronchial valves is a guideline treatment option for patients with advanced emphysema, supported by extensive scientific data. Patients limited by severe hyperinflation, with a suitable emphysema treatment target lobe and with absence of collateral ventilation are the responders to this treatment. Detailed patient selection, a professional treatment performance, and dedicated follow-up of the valve treatment, including management of complications, are key ingredients to success.

“How I Do It: Nurse Coordinator Roles and Responsibilities for Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction with Endobronchial Valves”
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) may cause profound dyspnea, functional impairment, and reduced quality of life. Available pharmacologic therapy provides suboptimal symptom improvement in many patients. Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR), achieved with endobronchial valve (EBV) placement, can effectively improve dyspnea and functional status in appropriately selected patients. Operationalizing a safe and effective BLVR program requires appropriate oversight which can be achieved by a BLVR Nurse Coordinator (NC).

A 2026 update on myelodysplastic neoplasms: current state, challenges and future directions
Myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) comprise a heterogeneous group of malignancies that can lead to ineffective haematopoiesis, cytopenias and, potentially, progression to acute myeloid leukaemia. In this Review, the authors describe the epidemiology of MDS, which appears to be rising, as well as advances in diagnosis, risk stratification and clinical management.

Multidisciplinary management of meningiomas in the era of precision oncology
Patients with meningioma, the most common type of intracranial primary tumour, have been traditionally managed with surgery and radiotherapy, although advances over the past decade have brought about promising novel treatment options. In addition, new molecularly driven classification tools can improve prognostic accuracy and guide personalized management decisions. The authors of this Review provide an integrated roadmap for meningioma care as well as a framework for ongoing and future research in this field.

Cultivating the microbiome to enhance cancer immunotherapy
Three recently published studies demonstrate the feasibility of modulating gut microorganisms using faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in patients receiving immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the first-line setting, expanding the evidence that FMT can augment response to ICIs. Herein, we discuss several opportunities for refining these efforts in order to increase the rigour and clinical benefit from microbiota modulation trials in oncology.

A prioritization framework for large-scale cancer screening under resource constraints: three ‘not all’ principles
Cancer screening is an effective strategy for reducing cancer mortality, but in resource-constrained settings the key challenge is not simply whether screening works but how its implementation should be prioritized. We propose a framework for prioritizing cancer screening under resource constraints, summarized in three ‘not all’ principles: not all cancers are suitable for screening; not all individuals need screening; and not all high-performance technologies are appropriate for population screening.

In what clinical settings are the MASAI trial results applicable?
This Comment describes the clinical significance of the Mammography Screening with Artificial Intelligence (MASAI) trial, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the first randomized trial of artificial intelligence-supported mammography interpretation to examine interval cancer as an outcome. This trial used artificial intelligence to assign single-reading versus double-reading of mammograms and found that this approach does not increase interval cancers in the Swedish population.
