[Editorial] Historic moments
Attending large scientific conferences can be an endurance test. The sunrise sessions, the multiple parallel tracks, the thousands of steps walking back-and-forth from one end of a convention centre to the other, and the evening receptions, all combined with meetings with colleagues, old and new. But occasionally, it becomes apparent that the conference in question is different, that something historic has happened. This year's American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting was one such occasion, evoking memories of other examples such as ASCO 2010 and the 2025 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS).

[Comment] Customised radiation after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer
Although oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 receptor expression status help to tailor neoadjuvant systemic therapy regimens in patients with breast cancer, the response to treatment is arguably more prognostic than is receptor status itself. The amount of residual disease following neoadjuvant therapy, as calculated by the residual cancer burden index, correlates with disease recurrence independent of stage or receptor status.1 In patients with high risk of recurrence based on substantial residual disease, trials such as KATHERINE and CREATE-X provide data to support escalation of adjuvant systemic therapy, providing truly personalised medicine for patients with breast cancer.

[Comment] Preliminary results from PRIMARY2: bringing colour to a grey arena
A non-invasive diagnostic test that enables us to safely avoid an invasive test is valuable. Historically, an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was the primary driver for a prostate biopsy. This approach was refined as a result of multiple large trials demonstrating the benefit of an MRI-based triage system, with MRI generally increasing the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer while reducing prostate biopsies.1

[Comment] Radiotherapy dose escalation in glioblastoma: the thin ice of of historical controls
In The Lancet Oncology, Frank A Giordano and colleagues report the outcome of the INTRAGO II trial, a randomised, phase 3 study investigating the benefit of radiotherapy dose intensification in 314 patients with glioblastoma. The authors must be congratulated for successfully completing a technically complex trial. The radiotherapy boost was given with an additional 30 Gy single dose of intraoperative radiation by use of low-energy x-rays emitting 50 kV photons to the resection cavity, in addition to standard-of-care chemoradiotherapy.

[Comment] Artificial intelligence volumetry in mesothelioma: ready for deployment?
Pleural mesothelioma is an uncommon, asbestos-associated cancer. Unlike most primary tumours, which grow spherically, mesothelioma conforms to the complex shape of the pleural cavity. As the disease progresses, multifocal tumour nodules coalesce and thicken to produce a crescent-shaped rind encasing the lung. Tumour foci might invade into adjacent structures, with limited between-plane resolution on routine imaging. This morphological complexity, combined with a typical pleural surface area of around 4000 cm2, makes radiological quantification extremely challenging.

[Comment] Delivering transformational change for patients and the environment through England's National Cancer Plan
The National Cancer Plan for England, published in February, 2026, sets out ambitious plans for the future of cancer care in England over the next 10 years.1 Overlooked in the plan, however, is the need to align these plans with the legal commitment of the National Health Service (NHS) to developing an environmentally sustainable health-care system, reducing health care-associated greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2045.2 Many policies set out in the plan could contribute to achieving this goal—realising co-benefits for health and environment—but the potential environmental impacts of some proposals need careful evaluation before and during implementation.

[Correspondence] The intermediate-risk gap in AI-based breast cancer stratification
Gil Shamai and colleagues1 have produced the most methodologically rigorous computational pathology model to date for recurrence-score estimation in hormone receptor-positive, HER2 (also known as ERBB2)-negative early breast cancer. Leveraging TAILORx randomised treatment assignments to show differential chemotherapy benefit by menopausal status—a distinction no previous computational pathology study has achieved—the model raises the bar for the field. The minimal calibration approach, requiring only 100 slides and no local genomic labels, addresses barriers to deployment in resource-limited settings.

[Correspondence] The intermediate-risk gap in AI-based breast cancer stratification – Authors' reply
We thank Koinis and colleagues for raising a concern worth clarifying, as other readers might share it. They describe the intermediate-risk population as the group in which stratification is most needed, and argue that our model adds little value there. This conflates two distinct concepts: intermediate clinical or genomic risk and intermediate artificial intelligence (AI) risk. Our AI model is, itself, a stratification tool that resolves subpopulations within the conventionally uncertain clinical and genomic groups, precisely where it is most needed.

We thank Elif Hindié and colleagues for their thoughtful comments on our recent Article.1 Interest in higher linear energy transfer (LET) radiopharmaceuticals, such as terbium-161 (161Tb), has recently increased.2 161Tb resembles lutetium-177 (177Lu) in its decay but additionally emits low-energy conversion electrons and Auger electrons with high LET. These electrons could induce greater genotoxicity at the cellular level,3 raising the hypothesis that micrometastases could be more effectively treated, similar to proposed advantages of alpha-emitters.

[Perspectives] OncoCorridor: connecting patients with cancer in conflict zones to treatment centres worldwide
Over 2 billion people currently reside in conflict-affected areas. For millions of people affected by cancer in these areas, disruptions in health services lead to treatment delays or interruptions and, ultimately, amenable deaths. That people should endure both conflict and avoidable cancer death is a double injustice our professional oaths oblige us to confront. The OncoCorridor initiative, led by OncoDaily and the Institute of Cancer and Crisis, aims to reduce avoidable deaths from people diagnosed with cancer in conflict-affected regions by establishing a global network that connects them with treatment centres worldwide.

[Articles] Internal mammary chain and medial supraclavicular lymph node irradiation in stage I-III breast cancer (EORTC trial 22922/10925): an unplanned subset analysis of 20-year outcomes in patients with node-negative breast cancer
Breast cancer mortality at 20 years was significantly lower in the IM-MS irradiation group, whereas non-breast cancer mortality was numerically higher in the IM-MS irradiation group after 15 years, resulting in no long-term benefit of IM-MS irradiation on overall survival. Our results emphasise the importance of very long-term follow-up and advanced irradiation techniques to reduce the dose to organs of interest.

[Review] Novel strategies to overcome the blood–brain barrier in triple-negative breast cancer brain metastases
Triple-negative breast cancer—the most aggressive breast cancer subtype—has a high propensity for brain metastases, with limited treatments and poor prognosis. The blood–brain barrier, long viewed as an impermeable therapeutic sanctuary, is the core barrier to effective care. This Review advocates a key paradigm shift for clinical and translational research: from merely circumventing the blood–brain barrier to actively targeting and exploiting its biology. We delineate triple-negative breast cancer-specific mechanisms of blood–brain barrier breach and evaluate emerging therapies via a clinically actionable three-pillar framework: physical and focal blood–brain barrier disruption, biological blood–brain barrier exploitation, and microenvironmental modulation.

[Policy Review] Reirradiation for recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: international expert consensus recommendations endorsed by the Reirradiation Collaborative Group, the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology Reirradiation Focus Group, and the American Society for Radiation Oncology
Reirradiation can be considered for some patients with recurrent or second primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma arising within previously irradiated regions, a clinical scenario associated with few therapeutic options. The increasing use of modern conformal radiotherapy techniques, including intensity-modulated radiotherapy, proton therapy, and stereotactic body radiotherapy, has expanded the feasibility of reirradiation in clinical practice. However, evidence remains heterogeneous, and clinical choices are challenged by substantial variability in patient presentation, previous treatments, and toxicity risk.

[Editorial] Ebola outbreak: why haematology matters
As of June 3, WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus reported 344 confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease in DR Congo, as well as 15 confirmed cases in Uganda. Encouragingly, suspected cases in the DR Congo have fallen, as efforts continue to eliminate delays in testing. However, this outbreak, caused by Bundibugyo virus (Orthoebolavirus bundibugyoense), highlights a recurring vulnerability in epidemic preparedness: limited access to reliable and accurate diagnostics and absence of specific treatments and vaccines.

[Comment] Apixaban for paediatric venous thromboembolism: cautious optimism
For decades, paediatric anticoagulation has been guided more by extrapolation than by evidence. Treatments for venous thromboembolism in children have largely mirrored adult practice, despite fundamental developmental differences in haemostasis and drug handling. The emergence of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) marks a turning point, with the first generation of trials specifically designed for paediatric populations published in the past 5 years. Within this context, the study by Leonardo R Brandão and colleagues1 provides timely and important data on apixaban in children with venous thromboembolism.

[In Focus] Essential but neglected: securing the global supply of human hyperimmune immunoglobulins
In 2025, the European Medicines Agency and the Heads of Medicines Agencies issued recommendations to address vulnerabilities in the supply of anti-RhD immunoglobulin (RHIG; used to prevent RhD alloimmunisation during pregnancy). This alert highlights a broader but under-recognised problem: the fragile global supply of hyperimmune immunoglobulins, a group of plasma-derived medicines essential for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and maternal–child health. Despite their various inclusions in the WHO Model Lists of Essential Medicines for adults and children and in national lists, these products remain vulnerable to shortages and fragmented procurement in both high-income countries (HICs) and low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Ferric carboxymaltose increases fracture risk in patients and reduces bone formation in mice with iron deficiency anemia
The use of IV iron in clinical practice has increased significantly in recent years. In this Plenary Paper, Wagner and colleagues demonstrate that ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is associated with a higher risk of fractures than ferric derisomaltose and show that FCM impairs bone recovery in mouse models despite correction of anemia. Mechanistically, FCM preferentially accumulates in bone, suppresses collagen production and bone formation pathways, alters dentin matrix protein 1–integrin signaling, and sustains elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 levels, suggesting that its skeletal toxicity extends beyond the well-recognized effects of hypophosphatemia. These findings support consideration of alternative IV iron formulations that provide similar efficacy without risk of skeletal complications.

Genomic profiling for decision-making in post–polycythemia vera and post–essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis
Mora and colleagues have improved the existing myelofibrosis secondary to polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia prognostic model (MYSEC-PM) for secondary myelofibrosis by incorporating molecular and cytogenetic data, creating the mutation-enhanced MYSEC-mPM and the karyotype- and mutation-enhanced MYSEC-kmPM. By analyzing 644 patients, they identified mutations in ASXL1, U2AF1, TP53, and SRSF2, as well as complex or monosomal karyotypes, as independent predictors of poor survival, significantly improving risk stratification beyond clinical factors alone. These updated models provide more precise survival prediction that may better guide transplant decisions, patient monitoring, and clinical trial design.

Immunodeficiency-associated primary CNS lymphomas: an International Primary CNS Lymphoma Collaborative Group study
Kaulen and colleagues from the International Primary CNS Lymphoma (PCNSL) Collaborative Group (IPCG) developed the IPCG ID-PCNSL prognostic score for immunodeficiency-associated PCNSL, demonstrating its ability to stratify outcomes across patients with HIV infection, solid organ transplantation, or autoimmune disorders. Their analysis highlights the biological and clinical distinctiveness of Epstein-Barr virus–driven PCNSL in immunocompromised patients, while showing that survival remains poor for high-risk groups despite widespread use of immune restoration strategies and rituximab- and high-dose methotrexate–based therapies. The study establishes the IPCG ID-PCNSL score as a practical tool for risk-adapted treatment decisions.

Low- vs standard-dose regimens as induction for pediatric AML: a multicenter, randomized noninferiority trial
Induction therapy for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is highly intensive and carries significant risks of toxicity. Gao and colleagues report results from the phase 3 CALS III-AML18 trial, showing that low-dose induction chemotherapy with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor achieves remission rates and survival outcomes comparable to those with standard-dose induction therapy in children with AML. This low-dose regimen is associated with fewer toxicities, faster hematologic recovery, and reduced health care costs, suggesting a feasible treatment strategy for resource-limited settings. Further validation of this chemotherapy deescalation regimen is needed for optimization of low-dose approaches.

Inhibition of p300/CREBBP catalytic activity drives context-dependent transcriptional activation in AML
Lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) are chromatin modifiers that facilitate transcriptional activation. Meyerhöfer and colleagues demonstrate that pharmacologic inhibition of the KAT activity of p300/CREBBP unexpectedly activates interferon-stimulated genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells by increasing p300/CREBBP occupancy at interferon-responsive regulatory elements and promoting STAT1-mediated transcription. This transcriptional rewiring sensitized AML cells to interferon alpha, increased apoptosis, and reduced leukemia burden in both in vitro and in vivo models. Further preclinical evaluation is needed to understand the translational implications of these findings.

Engineering single-chain variable fragments to identify pathogenic antibodies in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
One of the major challenges in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) diagnosis is differentiating between pathogenic and nonpathogenic anti–heparin/platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibodies. Bissola and colleagues developed engineered single-chain variable fragment (scFv) inhibitors derived from a HIT-like monoclonal antibody to selectively target pathogenic heparin/PF4 antibody epitopes and improve diagnostic discrimination in HIT. The incorporation of these scFvs into enzyme immunoassays increased specificity and improved assay accuracy in a small patient cohort. Further analytical and clinical validation in larger cohorts is required before clinical implementation.

Non-PF4/heparin-binding, platelet-activating antibodies in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
In this study, Zhou et al show that some platelet-activating anti–platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibodies in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) are not detected by standard PF4/heparin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). These ELISA-negative antibodies can still strongly activate platelets through FcγRIIA-dependent mechanisms and contribute substantially to pathogenic activity, reflecting context-dependent antigen recognition of PF4 complexes. Although these findings highlight limitations of current immunoassays, ELISA-negative functional antibodies appear uncommon in routine practice, reinforcing the continued importance of integrating clinical scoring with both immunoassays and functional platelet activation testing.

CD28+ CD8+ Tem cells with a STAT1-dependent glucocorticoid receptor deficit contribute to steroid-refractory acute GVHD
Steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) remains a major clinical challenge after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Pan and colleagues investigated biomarkers that identify patients with newly developed aGvHD destined to become steroid refractory. Expansion of activated CD28+ CD8+ effector-memory T (Tem) cells was associated with steroid-refractory disease and linked to a proinflammatory, STAT1-driven reduction in glucocorticoid receptor expression. They further show that JAK/STAT inhibition with ruxolitinib can reverse these changes and restore steroid sensitivity, suggesting a potential strategy for early or preemptive treatment of high-risk patients.

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.

Improving neoadjuvant and perioperative therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer
Perioperative chemoimmunotherapy, comprising platinum-doublet chemotherapy plus an anti-PD-(L)1 antibody, has become the standard-of-care approach for patients with resectable non-small-cell lung cancer without an actionable driver alteration. However, the development of this approach has thus far been largely empirical, with limited capacity for adaptation of treatment strategies to better meet the needs of individual patients. In this Review, the authors discuss the potential for improvements in the current approach to perioperative therapy, including de-escalation for those with a pathological complete response, the capacity of various baseline and/or dynamic biomarkers to optimize outcomes, and the potential for escalation in patients with early evidence of a lack of responsiveness in the perioperative setting.

Patient value over patent value: the mandate for open-source oncology
Modern oncology has built highly efficient pathways for patent-protected innovation, but no equivalent machinery for evaluating and developing promising off-patent therapeutics. Herein, we frame ‘open-source oncology’ as a parallel public-interest infrastructure to test, authorize and implement credible generic agents. Designed to translate ownerless evidence into standard-of-care treatments, this framework applies the same scientific seriousness devoted to proprietary drugs, decoupling clinical value from commercial ownership.
