[Comment] STAR-TREC and TESAR trials: strengthening the evidence for organ preservation in rectal cancer
The adoption of total mesorectal excision (TME) has significantly reduced the risk of locoregional recurrence in patients with rectal cancer. However, this reduction comes at the cost of substantial treatment-related morbidity, including permanent stoma formation and long-term impairment of bowel, urinary, and sexual function that adversely impact quality of life (QOL) and functionality.1 As such, management has evolved toward risk-adapted, patient-centred strategies, including selective organ preservation that is oncologically safe and associated with better QOL.

[Comment] Radiotherapy dose intensification for high-risk prostate cancer—what is gained?
Can a modest increase in radiotherapy dose make a difference for a patient with high-risk prostate cancer? In The Lancet Oncology, Christophe Hennequin and colleagues present results from the GETUG-AFU 18 trial,1 which enrolled 505 patients across 25 centres in France to answer this important and relevant question. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive 70 Gy or 80 Gy to the prostate, along with 3 years of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The higher radiotherapy dose improved biochemical or clinical progression-free survival (the primary outcome) from 88·1% to 91·4% at 5 years and from 72·2% to 83·6% at 10 years (stratified hazard ratio 0·56, 95% CI 0·40–0·78).

[Comment] Beyond visual tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes assessment
Stromal tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) have become one of the most clinically informative immune biomarkers in breast cancer,1 associated with improved response to systemic therapy and favourable long-term outcomes.2,3 Reproducibility is not the obstacle to their use. In a secondary analysis of the APHINITY trial in The Lancet Oncology, Luis E Lara González and colleagues4 found a high interobserver reproducibility among five pathologists scoring 262 cases to international guidelines.5 However, scoring requires expert pathologists, quality-assured haematoxylin and eosin slides, and time, which are unevenly distributed across health systems.

[Comment] Afghan women's cancer crisis deserves its own response
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) already account for an estimated 43% of all deaths in Afghanistan1 and are projected to exceed 60% by 2030, mainly among women. However, access to cancer care remains critically limited—Afghanistan has only two functioning cancer treatment centres, both in Kabul (Jamhuriat Hospital and the newly opened National Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Hospital), for more than 40 million people, and neither offers radiotherapy.2 These gaps contribute to delayed diagnosis, poor outcomes, and avoidable mortality, and highlight the urgent need to strengthen cancer prevention, detection, and treatment nationwide.

[Perspectives] A polycrisis in cancer care: Cuba's system under the oil blockade
Cuba's cancer care programme is facing a polycrisis, in which disruptions in energy supply, pharmaceutical access, and technological capacity interact and reinforce one another. The strain is most visible at two of its most resource-intensive nodes: the supply of cytostatic drugs for chemotherapy and the operational readiness of radiotherapy. Both have long been limited by restricted access to pharmaceutical markets, equipment, and spare parts under the decades-long US trade embargo. The oil blockade imposed on Jan 29, 2026 (figure 1), has converted these chronic constraints into an acute systemic breakdown.

These early results support a response-adapted organ-preservation approach, with LCCRT appearing more effective than SCRT at 12 months. Organ-preservation might also reduce treatment-related toxicity compared with primary TME. Longer follow-up is needed for the prespecified 30-month endpoint and definitive functional and oncological outcomes.

[Review] Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes and breast radiotherapy: perspectives from the International Immuno-Oncology Biomarker Working Group
Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are prognostic and predictive biomarkers in breast cancer. High pre-treatment TILs are associated with a favourable prognosis and improved response to systemic therapies. However, the role of TILs in mediating response to radiotherapy in breast cancer remains underexplored, with scarce clinical evidence to date. In this Review, we present an overview of current evidence and potential mechanisms, highlight opportunities for integrating TILs into radiation oncology trials and clinical practice, and call for standardised TIL reporting to accelerate biomarker-driven individualisation of radiotherapy in breast cancer.

[Editorial] Sex and gender inequality in classical haematology: time to act
Women, girls, and people assigned female at birth still face major shortfalls in health care because of their sex and gender, and classical haematology is no exception. A major disparity between males and females is the much longer time that females wait to be diagnosed with a bleeding disorder (2 years in males vs 14–16 years in females) leading to untreated chronic and acute bleeding events that can be debilitating and even life threatening. Other challenges that affect physiological processes unique to women, girls, and people assigned female at birth include under-recognition of heavy menstrual bleeding, inconsistent definitions and management plans for post-partum haemorrhage, and poor optimisation of hormone therapy and anticoagulation in hormone therapy-associated and pregnancy-associated thrombosis.

[Comment] Expanding access to menstrual health: areas for attention
Improving access to menstrual health requires expanded attention and investment in a diversity of areas grounded in its definition. These areas range from increasing menstrual health literacy to commonplace menstrual-friendly public toilets, menstrual-supportive schools, workplaces, and public spaces, as well as improved preventive care and treatment from menarche to menopause, including the recognition that heavy menstrual bleeding occurs frequently in patients with bleeding disorders. The Lancet Haematology Commission1 by Luuk J J Scheres and colleagues highlights crucial areas needing attention for a range of menstrual health-related issues.

[In Focus] Emergency obstetric care training for the prevention and management of postpartum haemorrhage in sub-Saharan Africa
Postpartum haemorrhage remains a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, accounting for 27% of global maternal deaths with approximately 80% of related deaths occurring in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia. Multiple systemic factors, including shortages of skilled health personnel, limited access to antenatal care, delays in referral, inadequate supplies of essential medicines and commodities, and insufficient blood transfusion services contribute to the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage and its associated poor outcomes.

[In Focus] Between rules and reality
During my transition as a transgender individual, I experienced something that I had been warned about in advance. Deep down I had always thought that will not happen to me. My health-care team had warned me that the medication, especially the hormones containing oestradiol, could increase the risk of dangerous blood clots. I heard the words they said, I realised what they meant, yet it felt far away. On the one hand, I realised there were risks and I did not want to seem self-focused to those around me and wanted to make a responsible choice.

[The Lancet Haematology Commissions] Reducing mortality, improving outcomes, and establishing equity for women with classical haematological disease: a Lancet Haematology Commission
Women and girls, who make up more than 50% of the population worldwide, lag behind men in a long list of health metrics, with a higher burden of morbidity-driven conditions, undertreatment of pain, and delayed diagnoses.1,2 In particular, women and girls have unique presentations and consequences of haematological disorders, with higher rates of anaemia, unique and greater symptom burden from bleeding disorders due to sex-specific bleeding challenges, and pregnancy-related thrombotic and bleeding complications.

Biosimilars approved for hematology use: lessons from comparative efficacy studies and comparative analytical assessments
Since the first approval of a filgrastim product in 2015, many biosimilars have come on the marker for hematology indications. Herndon, Brahme, and Ricci present the scientific rationale for replacing comparative efficacy studies, previously used by the US Food and Drug Administration for approvals, with comparative analytical assessments, arguing that modern analytical methods are more sensitive than clinical trials for detecting meaningful differences between biosimilars and reference products. They highlight how this regulatory shift could accelerate biosimilar availability for hematologic malignancies while reducing unnecessary clinical studies.

How I utilize somatic alterations in the diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapy of hypocellular bone marrow failure
In patients with hypocellular bone marrow failure (BMF), disease-specific somatic alterations can help distinguish among different etiologies, including immune-mediated aplastic anemia, inherited BMF syndromes, and hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome. Groarke, Gutierrez-Rodrigues, and Patel discuss how they incorporate somatic alterations into their diagnostic approach. Through a series of illustrative cases, they demonstrate how these alterations can also predict the risk of secondary myeloid neoplasms, guide surveillance strategies, and, for selected patients, facilitate early therapeutic intervention.

Anti-BCMA/GPRC5D CAR T cells in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have extraosseous extramedullary disease
Patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and extraosseous extramedullary disease have poor outcomes. Zhou et al report dual-targeted anti-BCMA/GPRC5D chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells that achieve an overall response rate of 97%, universal bone marrow measurable residual disease negativity among responders, and a stringent complete response rate of 43%, with toxicities comparable to those of single-target CAR T-cell products. Despite these impressive early responses, durability remains limited, highlighting the challenge of achieving long-term disease control in this high-risk population.

Procr+ endothelial progenitor cells govern hematopoiesis through fine-tuning mesenchymal stem cell niche signals
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) rely on specialized niche cells for their maintenance, and the coordinated interactions among these cellular regulators are essential for sustaining hematopoiesis. Xu et al provide evidence that cross talk between endothelial cells (ECs) and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) through Notch signaling is required to maintain HSCs and promote regeneration of the hematopoietic system after injury. Their study identifies a critical role for Notch signaling in mediating EC-MSC communication and regulating HSC function, while reinforcing previous observations that Notch signaling is a central regulator of angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and hematopoiesis.

IDH2 clonal hematopoiesis and IKAROS loss cooperate in a B-ALL subtype after lenalidomide therapy for multiple myeloma
Lenalidomide treatment for multiple myeloma is associated with an increased risk of secondary B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Horns et al performed a comprehensive molecular characterization of 57 cases, demonstrating that IDH2 mutations are highly enriched in lenalidomide-associated B-ALL (23%). Their analyses suggest that these mutations were selected from preexisting clonal hematopoiesis, underscoring the need for continued investigation into the interplay between immunomodulatory therapies and the risk of clonal hematopoiesis progressing to overt leukemia.

Mutant IDH1 blocks neutropoiesis by repressing myeloid progenitor programs
The mechanisms by which IDH1 mutations promote acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain incompletely understood. Hakobyan et al demonstrate that mutant IDH1 induces an early neutrophil differentiation block through epigenetic repression of Cebpe, defining a key mechanism linking IDH1 mutations to leukemogenesis. These findings identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for IDH1-mutant AML.

Dissecting polycomb complexes for enhanced fetal hemoglobin production
Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2 regulate the fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch, and reversing this process is a promising therapeutic strategy for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. Kaminski et al use a comprehensive CRISPR-based screen to interrogate the components of these repressive complexes and identified a single protein domain in EZH2, a subunit of PRC2, as a potential therapeutic target. They demonstrate that inhibition of the domain encoded by exon 14 of EZH2 selectively derepresses fetal hemoglobin expression, raising the possibility of developing drugs that specifically target this domain to treat hemoglobinopathies.

Haploidentical transplant, gene therapy, and standard care in sickle cell disease: a cost-effectiveness analysis
With the availability of 2 commercial gene therapies and improved outcomes with haploidentical transplantation, patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) now have several potentially curative treatment options. Chetlapalli et al report a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing nonmyeloablative haploidentical transplantation, gene therapy, and standard care in adults and children with SCD. At current prices, haploidentical transplantation is the most cost-effective strategy. This analysis provides valuable guidance for clinicians, patients, and health systems as they consider treatment choices. However, as Kelkar and Antin conclude in their accompanying Blood Commentary, the true measure of success is not which therapy “wins” the economic argument, but whether each patient receives the therapy best suited to their clinical needs and values.

The clinical use of lung MRI in cystic fibrosis: what, now, how?
To assess airway and lung parenchymal damage non-invasively in cystic fibrosis (CF), chest MRI has been historically out of the scope of routine clinical imaging due to technical difficulties such as the low proton density and respiratory and cardiac motion. 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).

Precision oncology needs precision trial design: lessons from FGFR2-rearranged cholangiocarcinoma
The phase III FIGHT-302 trial demonstrated that the FGFR inhibitor pemigatinib improves progression-free survival and response rates versus first-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced-stage FGFR2-rearranged cholangiocarcinoma. However, the trial accrued slowly and closed early after chemoimmunotherapy became the new standard of care. FIGHT-302, alongside two similarly terminated trials, highlights the need for innovative trial designs and flexible regulatory frameworks to evaluate therapies in rare, biomarker-defined populations.

How positive was PROTEUS? Reconsidering success when most patients never reach no evidence of disease
PROTEUS met its amended co-primary end points but should not be interpreted as practice changing. The trial compared two experimental strategies rather than the current standard of care, relied on an unvalidated approach (prostate-specific membrane antigen-PET) for assessments of metastasis-free survival, demonstrated minimal absolute benefit with increased toxicity and lacks both mature overall survival data and sufficient data on patient-reported outcomes to support adoption.

More options, more questions in the management of early relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma
In MonumenTAL-3, the G-protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 memberD-directed bispecific T cell engager talquetamab combined with either daratumumab or daratumumab–pomalidomide conferred significantly longer progression-free survival than daratumumab–pomalidomide–dexamethasone in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (≥1 prior line of therapy). These results herald a new therapeutic option for such patients but also raise questions regarding how talquetamab-based regimens should be integrated with B cell maturation antigen-directed T cell-redirecting therapies.
