[Editorial] Microplastics and cancer: a looming threat?
Microplastics are a growing global concern and have been linked to various health conditions. A study presented by Ilias Dimeas and colleagues at the 2026 European Respiratory Society conference found a higher burden of microplastics in the lungs of patients with lung cancer than in those without cancer. In the study, 70% of 100 people undergoing a bronchoscopy had detectable microplastics in at least one sample, and patients with lung cancer were more likely to have detectable microplastics in their samples than patients without lung cancer.

[Comment] Looking at cancer burden in Africa through a new lens
Cancer remains a leading cause of death and disability globally, with a disproportionate rising burden in Africa.1,2 Effective policy response has been consistently hampered by fragmented and incomplete cancer surveillance data.3 For a long time, there has been an assumption that a global uniform framework for understanding cancer risk factors exists and is applicable universally.4 This concept of harmonised global data is plausible in well structured and well resourced health systems in which research and care systems are integrated—systems that exist mostly in high-income regions.

[Comment] Personalised medicine in oncology: inequality aversion in a fast-moving field
Personalised medicine has been shown to improve patient care and holds promise to further benefit treatment results. The Lancet Oncology Commission on accelerating equitable cancer genomics and precision oncology in health care and research provides an overview of state-of-the-art treatments and the situation in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). From targeted treatment using companion diagnostics, identifying targets to guide treatment decisions, to broad ‘omics testing in cancer of unknown primary and metastasised tumours, the field is vast and inequalities exist within and between countries.

[Comment] Ethical priorities in global cancer genomics and precision oncology
Amid the promise of cancer genomics and precision oncology lies complex and ethically weighty issues. Genomics and other ‘omics are undoubtedly transforming cancer care for thousands of patients annually, enabling better prognosis, access to treatments or trials, or informing relatives. Yet, these interventions overwhelmingly benefit people in high-income countries: they are failing to reach most patients with cancer who could benefit, and those who are reached could, for reasons including health system readiness or data representation and interpretation, receive no or marginal benefit to their care.

[Comment] Inequities in access to precision oncology: shared challenges, unified blueprint
Precision oncology has substantially changed the therapeutic landscape from a “one size fits all” approach to that of individualised (or personalised) treatments.1 The promise of precision oncology extends across the entire cancer continuum from prevention, early diagnosis, subtyping of tumours, treatment selection, risk-adapted therapies, development of novel anticancer medicines, and post-treatment surveillance.2 The Lancet Oncology Commission on accelerating equitable cancer genomics and precision oncology in health care and research focuses on the current challenges and practical solutions to faciliate wider implementation.

[Comment] Beyond the evidence: why multistakeholder cooperation will determine whether cancer genomics reaches patients
The Lancet Oncology Commission on accelerating equitable cancer genomics and precision oncology presents a worrying picture.1 While the number of precision oncology drugs continues to increase,2,3 access to testing and matched therapies remains profoundly unequal, research is concentrated in high-income countries (HICs) and populations of European ancestry, and expanding testing capacity has not always translated into proportionate population-level benefit. The Commission's survey of national cancer control programmes (NCCPs), conducted in collaboration with the Union for International Cancer Control and WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) across 34 countries, found partial integration of genomics into most NCCPs, including in HICs.

[Comment] Ecological neglect: critical oversight in precision oncology governance
The Lancet Oncology Commission on accelerating equitable cancer genomics and precision oncology in health care and research1 examines the gap between the promise of precision oncology and its delivery across global health systems. Raffaella Casolino and colleagues argue that precision oncology has advanced with remarkable speed, yet its clinical impact and sustainability remain uneven, meaning that for much of the world, precision oncology remains just a promise. The authors argue that if the vision of precision oncology is to be realised, health systems need to generate, integrate, govern, and learn from data.

[Comment] Affordability in the era of precision oncology
Cancer drugs are increasingly unaffordable for health systems. Global spending on cancer drugs will reach US$441 billion by 2029.1 This 75% increase over 5 years cannot be explained by population ageing or changing prevalence alone. Instead, the price of cancer drugs is driving accelerated spending growth.2 Rising prices place considerable pressure on health systems, particularly when increased spending is not matched by commensurate improvements in patient health. Unfortunately, many expensive cancer drugs have highly uncertain safety and efficacy evidence at the time of market authorisation.

[Comment] Counting who was not tested: artificial intelligence extraction of genomic and treatment data from hospital records
The Lancet Oncology Commission on accelerating equitable access to cancer genomics and precision oncology provides an important framework defining indicators that health systems can and should measure.1 Operationalising these indicators, however, requires substantial data infrastructure. One indicator in the Commission's Precision Oncology Access Cascade defines the group of eligible patients who receive recommended genomic testing. The number of patients tested is relatively straightforward to obtain; however, the number meeting the guideline criteria is not because this information is usually recorded as unstructured narrative text rather than as a structured field.

We read with great interest the Article by Theodore L DeWeese and colleagues detailing the results of the PrTK03 phase 3 trial, which evaluated the addition of aglatimagene besadenovec (CAN-2409) and valacyclovir to standard-of-care external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for localised prostate cancer.1 We commend the investigators for executing this decade-spanning study. The biological premise—using an adenoviral vector to exert localised cytotoxicity of a systemically administered prodrug while stimulating a T-cell-mediated immune response—is scientifically sound.

[Correspondence] Proton pump inhibitors and durvalumab in PACIFIC
Leonardo Brunetti and colleagues’ post-hoc analysis of the PACIFIC trial in The Lancet Oncology addresses an important and clinically timely question: whether baseline exposure to proton pump inhibitors or antibiotics modifies the benefit of durvalumab after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer.1 The observed association between proton pump inhibitor exposure and inferior progression-free and overall survival in the durvalumab group, but not in the placebo group, is thought provoking.

[Correspondence] Proton pump inhibitors and durvalumab in PACIFIC
I read with great interest the Article by Leonardo Brunetti and colleagues,1 which reported that baseline exposure to proton pump inhibitors was associated with substantially inferior progression-free and overall survival among patients receiving durvalumab after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the PACIFIC trial, but not among those receiving placebo. The use of a randomised, placebo-controlled dataset to separate prognostic from predictive associations is a genuine advance over observational literature.

[Correspondence] Proton pump inhibitors and durvalumab in PACIFIC
Leonardo Brunetti and colleagues report an important post-hoc analysis of the PACIFIC trial,1 showing that baseline exposure to proton pump inhibitors, and to a lesser extent antibiotics, was associated with inferior survival outcomes following durvalumab, but not placebo, in patients with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The randomised placebo-controlled setting and differential analysis across the treatment group are major strengths. Nevertheless, proton pump inhibitor exposure itself was not randomised, and the clinical context in which proton pump inhibitors were prescribed could be crucial to interpretation.

The Kenyan Government has agreed a deal with Pfizer that could reduce the price of selected cancer medicines by seven times. Costs are expected to drop from as much as 1 million Kenyan Shillings (KSh; US$7725) to below KSh50 000 ($386) per treatment cycle for some drugs. The agreement covers nine cancers: breast, stomach, colorectal, lung, prostate, and oesophageal cancers, as well as leukaemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

[News] Toxic dust around the World Trade Center
On Sept 8, 2026, New York City authorities released more than 170 000 pages of documents showing that officials misled the public about toxic air quality levels after the Sept 11, 2001, attack that killed more than 2600 people at the World Trade Center (WTC). Health researchers say the documents contain little medical information that is new but confirm that carcinogens and toxins were present months after the attacks, exposing 400 000 people in lower Manhattan to smoke, dust, and combustion products.

[Perspectives] Cancer's new anxiety: not a death sentence, but delay
Throughout the history of cancer research, hyperbole has never been in short supply—whether it be Richard Nixon's war, Joe Biden's moonshot, or Cancer Research UK's 2023 declaration of a golden era. Driving such rhetoric has been the need to act against an enduring societal concern—cancer, the so-called Big C, society's number one fear.

[Perspectives] Against cancer, not against dying: Ernest Becker in the oncology clinic
When American cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker was awarded the 1974 Pulitzer Prize for his book, The Denial of Death, he had died of colorectal cancer only 2 months earlier. More than half a century later, the book feels almost uncomfortably contemporary in the oncology clinic. Although the book does not address cancer care directly, it speaks to what cancer reveals: mortality, and the symbolic structures we build to make that knowledge bearable. For Becker, identities, professions, institutions, religions, families, reputations, and achievements are ways in which the fragile self seeks continuity beyond finitude.

[Perspectives] Sir Chris Hoy's Tour de 4 charity cycle ride returns
Mention the name Chris Hoy and it's natural to picture the Olympic cyclist, who won six gold medals and one silver in Sydney, Athens, Beijing, and London between 2000 and 2012. Fans voted for him to be named as the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2008, and he was knighted by the late Queen Elizabeth in the 2009 New Year honours list. However, over the past 2 years, Hoy has become famous for a completely different reason. In October, 2024, he revealed that he had received a terminal diagnosis of stage-4 prostate cancer, which had spread to his bones.

[Perspectives] Differing approaches to cancer at the Edinburgh Fringe
“I had cancer a couple of years ago—I don’t like to talk about it,” grinned comedian Matt Forde during his show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world's largest arts festival, which took place in Edinburgh, UK, on Aug 7–31, 2026. With a sly grin at his audience, he added “I’m not going to use it to sell tickets for another sold out night in Edinburgh.” Forde, who is best known for his impressions of politicians, was diagnosed in July, 2023, with a chordoma, a very rare sarcoma at the base of his spine.

Cancer is a growing contributor to the disease burden in Africa, with rising cases, deaths, and DALYs disproportionately affecting children, adolescents, and young adults. The increase in age-standardised mortality and DALY rates stands in sharp contrast to the ambitions of the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 and the African Union Agenda 2063. Addressing this burden will require coordinated national and international action, with health-system strengthening and context-specific cancer-control strategies spanning prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment.

[Policy Review] Balancing benefits, costs, and harms: policy implications of expanding cancer susceptibility testing from genetics clinics to the general population
Cancer susceptibility testing is rapidly advancing beyond specialist genetics clinics into routine oncology and population-level genomics initiatives. This expansion positions germline pathogenic variants in cancer susceptibility genes and polygenic risk scores as crucial tools for precision prevention, surveillance, and early detection. However, implementation has outpaced the evidence needed to justify testing at scale, particularly in well populations. For a small number of first-wave genes—including BRCA1, BRCA2, MLH1, and MSH2—cancer risks are well established and downstream medical interventions are supported by substantial observational evidence, albeit with an absence of randomised trials.

[Review] Cancer and the microbiome: from association to intervention
The gut microbiome is increasingly recognised as a clinically modifiable determinant of efficacy and toxicity across systemic cancer therapies, with the most mature evidence in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The composition and function of intestinal microbes can influence treatment outcomes by affecting immune priming, antigen presentation, host–microbial co-metabolism, drug biotransformation, and epithelial barrier integrity. In melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma, higher microbial diversity, ecological stability, and enrichment of immunostimulatory pathways have been associated with improved ICI response and survival.

[Editorial] Personalising AML treatment: beyond age and fitness
Over the past couple of decades, the number of treatment options for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia has accelerated; however, most patients still do not survive long-term, with 5-year overall survival around 30%. For younger and functionally fit patients, the predominant front-line therapy has remained unchanged for half a century: intensive induction chemotherapy that includes cytarabine and anthracyclines (the 7+3 regimen). For older patients or those not able to undergo intensive chemotherapy, a combination of hypomethylating agent and venetoclax is now the standard front-line therapy, spearheaded by the VIALE-A trial in 2020.

[Correspondence] Response-adapted inotuzumab ozogamicin in paediatric first-relapse B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
Nicolò Peccatori and colleagues provide evidence for inotuzumab ozogamicin in paediatric very-high-risk first-relapse B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.1 The data support a less toxic bridge to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but the response denominators support a more specific clinical interpretation: inotuzumab ozogamicin is best viewed as cycle-1 molecular triage, not prolonged reinduction or a replacement for UK ALLR3 chemotherapy. Because ITCC-059 was a single-arm study and its statistical design was modified from 43 to 31 patients while increasing the alpha-error to 10%, comparative claims should be reframed as response-adapted sequencing.

[In Focus] From approval to practice: are clinicians and health systems ready for gene therapy in sickle cell disease?
Once a scientist's dream, gene therapy for sickle cell disease has now entered clinical practice. Autologous gene-based therapies offer a potential curative option for a disease that affects approximately 7·7 million people worldwide and remains associated with substantial morbidity, premature mortality, and entrenched health inequities. Regulatory approval, however, represents only the first step in a much longer translational pathway. Experience from other high-cost innovations suggests that without concurrent investment in implementation, workforce preparation, and financing, access could remain uneven or delayed.

To our knowledge, this is first clinical study of a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, rilzabrutinib, in warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Rilzabrutinib showed robust overall and durable haemoglobin response and favourable safety in patients with previously treated warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Rilzabrutinib has the potential to treat the underlying pathophysiology of warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia through multi-immune modulation, induce a robust and sustained haemoglobin response, and provides an opportunity to decrease or stop corticosteroid use.

[Articles] Clinical activity and safety of rilzabrutinib in patients with previously treated immune thrombocytopenia (LUNA3): results from the open-label period of a phase 3 trial
Rilzabrutinib showed continued, stable, and sometimes improved platelet responses, including in patients who were initially non-responsive in the double-blind trial. Additionally, rilzabrutinib improved several disease aspects, including physical fatigue and bleeding, supporting its multi-immune modulation mechanism in immune thrombocytopenia, and had a favourable safety profile. The long-term extension period of LUNA3 will further characterise the long-term efficacy and safety of rilzabrutinib in patients with difficult-to-treat immune thrombocytopenia, and the ongoing LUNA4 trial (NCT07007962) will determine the efficacy of rilzabrutinib in earlier-line treatment and its potential to achieve sustained treatment-free response.

[Review] High time for risk-adapted treatment in mantle cell lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma has multiple treatment options, yet the disease is difficult to cure. Relapses are common, treatments can cause severe side-effects, and current recommendations are still largely based on age rather than biology. Although suitability for intensive treatment was previously the decisive parameter, increasing knowledge on the biology of mantle cell lymphoma and less toxic targeted therapies has made non-risk adapted treatments outdated. TP53 mutations or deletions, blastoid histology, and a high Ki-67 proliferation index consistently identify patients at high risk of relapse.

[Review] At the heart of unmet need: TP53 myeloid neoplasms
TP53 myeloid neoplasms are being increasingly encountered in clinical practice and have been recognised in 2022, as a unique entity in the setting of functional loss of the two copies of the gene. The classification of myeloid neoplasm based on presence of biallelic (multi-hit) TP53 should precede morphological classification. The identification of biallelic (multi-hit) inactivation continues to evolve and is a matter of great debate balancing definitive biallelic identification via assays, pathology classifications, and clinical applicability.

[Personal View] Redefining plasma cell leukaemia
Plasma cell leukaemia is an aggressive plasma cell malignancy characterised by the presence of a high percentage of circulating clonal plasma cells on conventional peripheral blood smear examination. We argue that plasma cell leukaemia must no longer be considered as a separate disease entity but as a type of high-risk multiple myeloma. With the adoption of more strict criteria for defining high-risk multiple myeloma and the relaxation of criteria in defining plasma cell leukaemia, the clinical implications of the terms have converged.

Decentralized clinical trials in hematology: the promise and the peril
For many challenging hematologic disorders, clinical trials provide the best option for management of a patient’s condition. However, access is a barrier, especially for those living away from major centers, which typically are the hosts for many major trials. Removing the distance barrier would accelerate accrual and completion, while broadening the enrolled patient population to better reflect the true pool of unmet need. Petrone, Uy, and Bolton discuss the principles and practicalities of decentralized clinical trials in this Perspective article, providing their experience in an interventional trial to illustrate how the time is right for greater emphasis on this more patient-centric approach.

How I treat chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombopoietin receptor agonists
It is a common occurrence. Moderate and severe thrombocytopenias are regularly induced by cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens in common use across hematology and oncology. Most patients do not need prophylaxis or treatment, but some do. How to identify these patients and how to manage them in an evidence-based way are tackled by Al-Samkari and Soff. Using 4 cases as illustrations, they provide practical, evidence-based advice on the use of thrombopoietin receptor agonists in challenging settings.

First-line ibrutinib plus venetoclax for nonblastoid mantle cell lymphoma in patients ≥65 years old or with TP53 mutations
In relapsed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), the combination of ibrutinib and venetoclax improves progression-free survival, but not overall survival, when compared with ibrutinib monotherapy, with the greatest benefits in patients with adverse genetic features. In this month’s CME article, Wang and colleagues report single-arm trial data for first-line use of this regimen in patients at least 65 years old or with TP53 mutations, revealing high and durable complete responses in non-TP53-mutant MCL and a 55% complete response rate but less durability in TP53-mutant MCL. While impressive compared to historical data with chemotherapy-based regimens, the data indicate that this regimen is not the solution for TP53-mutant MCL and novel approaches are urgently required.

PKMYT1 is a targetable vulnerability in del(17p) high-risk multiple myeloma
Deletion of chromosome 17p [del(17p)]/TP53-mutant multiple myeloma (MM) remains a significant unmet clinical need despite the rapid recent advances in therapy. Using a knockout screen and analyses of publicly available genomic and transcriptomic data, Schavgoulidze and colleagues identified PKMYT1, a member of the Wee family of kinases known to regulate mitotic entry and protect genome integrity, as a vulnerability for TP53-deficient MM. They demonstrate that it is pharmacologically tractable, with inhibition being highly active against patient-derived xenografts and in immunocompetent murine models, creating key evidence supporting clinical study of this targeted approach.

Dynamic genetic and nongenetic RAS-pathway activation drives resistance to FLT3 and BCL2 inhibitor therapy
FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations, typically internal tandem duplications, occur in approximately one-quarter of all acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs), and outcomes have improved significantly with the addition of FLT3 inhibitors. In relapsed disease, the combination of the FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib and venetoclax is highly active, but recurrence is inevitable. Exploiting serial samples and single-cell techniques, Kennedy and colleagues report the clonal and nonclonal mechanisms of resistance leading to these relapses. Under this therapeutic pressure, RAS-pathway activation is favored, and downstream inhibitors of this pathway may have a future role in controlling or preventing recurrent leukemia.

Therapeutic targeting of IL-17A–driven PTGS2/NLRP3 inflammasome activation in juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia
Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm that occurs exclusively in young children. It is underpinned in >90% of cases by germ line or somatic mutations in RAS-pathway genes, but elevated inflammatory signaling is a hallmark. Pasupuleti et al explored the basis for this, pinpointing interleukin-17A (IL-17A) as promoting an immunosuppressive microenvironment conducive to treatment-refractory disease. They show that genetic or pharmacological disruption of IL-17A in murine models reverses much of the pathology of JMML, suggesting that clinical trials of the antipsoriasis therapy secukinumab are a logical next step.

The red blood cell proteome and interactome identify a Band 3–BLVRB axis regulating hypoxic metabolic adaptation
Red blood cells (RBCs) must be deformable, and this is enabled by the nature of their cell membrane, a lipid bilayer traversed by integral membrane proteins, such as Band 3. Using proteomics and functional experiments, Issaian et al reveal biliverdin reductase B (BLVRB) as a new Band 3 partner, showing that it translocates to, or dissociates from, the RBC membrane as oxygenation conditions change. Their data demonstrate a novel functional axis involving BLVRB–Band 3 in metabolic remodeling of RBCs in response to exercise and to deoxygenation.

Identifying and characterizing a chronic cough cohort through electronic health records
NLP successfully identified a large cohort with CC. Most patients were identified through NLP alone, rather than diagnoses or medications. NLP improved detection of patients nearly seven-fold, addressing the gap in ability to identify and characterize CC disease burden. Nearly all cases appeared to be managed in primary care. Identifying these patients is important for characterizing treatment and unmet needs.

Development and validation of algorithms to identify pulmonary arterial hypertension in administrative data
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease and much of our understanding stems from single-center studies, which are limited by sample size and generalizability. Administrative data offer an appealing opportunity to inform clinical, research, and quality improvement efforts for PAH. Yet, there is currently no standardized, validated method to distinguish PAH from other subgroups of pulmonary hypertension (PH) within this data source.

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).

Understanding and targeting the tumour matrisome
The extracellular matrix (ECM) has a role in all aspects of cancer progression and thus provides a rich source of potential tumour biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Nonetheless, early efforts at clinical translation have failed to provide ECM-specific clinical tools or therapies. In this Review, the authors describe novel technologies and how these are being leveraged to better inform our understanding of the role of the ECM in cancer development and progression as well as how this new knowledge and capabilities might lead to novel biomarkers and/or ECM-targeting therapies.

Armouring GPC3 CAR T cells for hepatocellular carcinoma: how much is enough and what comes next?
A new chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell product consists of autologous T cells expressing an affinity-tuned glypican 3-targeted CAR and armoured to secrete a dominant-negative TGFβ receptor II. This cell product was tested in 36 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and, although the initial efficacy results were promising, antigen loss and limited progression-free survival remain concerns. Here we discuss what else is needed to bring CAR T cells for solid tumours into the clinic.
