[Editorial] England's National Cancer Plan: hollow promises?
On Feb 4, 2026—World Cancer Day—the long-overdue National Cancer Plan for England was finally published. The plan sets ambitious targets, promising that three quarters of all patients diagnosed with cancer will survive at least 5 years and that the UK will become a global leader in cancer survival by 2035. However, the feasibility of these ambitions is doubtful. The UK's current 5-year survival is among the lowest of all high-income countries, and internal reviews have presented the National Health Service (NHS) as broken.

[Comment] Towards response-adapted neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment
The therapeutic landscape of early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer has been transformed over the past two decades.1 The introduction of HER2-directed therapy, including the antibody trastuzumab, has fundamentally altered the natural history of this disease, converting an aggressive breast cancer subtype associated with poor outcomes into one with high rates of pathological complete response and excellent long-term survival.1,2 These gains were initially achieved using intensive multi-agent regimens incorporating HER2-directed therapies with anthracyclines, taxanes, and platinum chemotherapy in both the adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings.

Metastatic uveal melanoma is a rare and life-threatening cancer with limited treatment options. A characteristic feature of uveal melanoma is its strong liver tropism, resulting in liver metastases in approximately 90% of patients who develop metastatic disease. This distinct pattern has led to investigations of liver-directed therapeutic strategies in patients with uveal melanoma.

[Comment] 20 years of the Stupp protocol: confronting stagnation in glioblastoma therapy
20 years ago, the combination of radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide, also known as the Stupp protocol,1 transformed glioblastoma treatment. It was the first multimodal regimen to show a survival advantage in newly diagnosed glioblastoma and is the standard of care two decades later. The trial1 identified a biomarker (MGMT) to predict benefit from temozolomide; yet this represents only the beginning of what biologically informed patient selection could achieve. Advances in single-cell profiling, spatial imaging, and systems immunology are revealing fundamental determinants of glioblastoma behaviour, including dynamic cell states, lineage plasticity, metabolic constraints, and the role of the brain's resident and infiltrating immune cells.

[Correspondence] AI-assisted screening for pancreatic cancer
I appreciate the excellent work by Natólia Alves and colleagues,1 comparing artificial intelligence (AI) and radiologists in pancreatic cancer detection using standard of care CT scans (PANORAMA study). The paper is a milestone in evaluating the real-world diagnostic performance of an AI system for the detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) on contrast-enhanced CT. This important advance will facilitate PDAC surveillance of individuals who are at high risk.2 However, PANORAMA study's AI system1 is not suitable for PDAC screening of people who are at average risk of PDAC and are asymptomatic.

[Correspondence] Standardising MET amplification testing: limitations of the GCN ≥6 criterion
We read with great interest the phase 2 KUNPENG trial by Yi-Long Wu and colleagues.1 The reported objective response rate of 48·8% with vebreltinib in MET amplification-driven non-small-cell lung cancer is promising. However, the use of a gene copy number (GCN) of six or higher as the sole enrolment criterion obscures crucial biological heterogeneity within this population. This methodological choice fundamentally limits the interpretability of the efficacy signal and poses a considerable risk for the design of the planned phase 3 trial.

[Correspondence] Standardising MET amplification testing: limitations of the GCN ≥6 criterion – Authors' reply
We thank Yuxin Liu and colleagues for their interest in the KUNPENG study and concur that a clinically meaningful MET amplification cutoff is crucial to trial design and interpretation.1 Indeed, our selection of a gene copy number (GCN) of six or higher assessed by fluorescence in-situ hybridisation (FISH) was grounded in a biological rationale and clinical precedent. Mechanistically, MET amplification promotes oncogenesis through GCN gain-induced MET protein phosphorylation, and a GCN of six or higher confers a potent oncogenic driver function independent of hepatocyte growth factor.

[Perspectives] Seismic vulnerability of Türkiye's radiotherapy centres: a nationwide analysis
Earthquakes constitute major natural hazards, with the potential to cause extensive damage to infrastructure, substantial loss of life, and economic consequences. Türkiye is situated at the intersection of the Arabian and Eurasian tectonic plates and is traversed by both the North Anatolian and East Anatolian fault lines, resulting in high seismic activity across the region. In the last century, the country has experienced 16 major earthquakes with magnitudes of Mw 7·0 or higher. Among these earthquakes were the two major seismic events of 2023 (Mw 7·7 and Mw 7·6), which profoundly impacted southeastern Türkiye and northern Syria, resulting in more than 50 000 deaths and widespread structural destruction, including critical damage to health care facilities.

The stable incidence and declining mortality rates of female breast cancer in high-income nations reflect success in screening, diagnosis, and treatment. In contrast, the concurrent rise in incidence and mortality in other regions signals health system deficits. Without effective interventions, many countries will fall short of the WHO Global Breast Cancer Initiative's ambitious target of achieving an annual reduction of 2·5% in age-standardised mortality rates by 2040. The mounting breast cancer burden, disproportionately affecting some of the world's most vulnerable populations, will further exacerbate health inequalities across the globe without decisive immediate action.

[Articles] Percutaneous hepatic perfusion combined with ipilimumab and nivolumab for metastatic uveal melanoma (CHOPIN): a single-centre, open-label, randomised, phase 2 trial
Adding ipilimumab and nivolumab to percutaneous hepatic perfusion significantly improved progression-free survival, but with a higher rate of adverse events. The combination therapy offers a promising new treatment paradigm for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. These results would ideally be validated in larger, multicentre randomised trials; however, conducting such studies is challenging due to the low incidence of uveal melanoma.

[Review] Cardiac radiosensitivity in the era of thoracic chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy: a scoping review
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) consolidation is now the standard of care for unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is increasingly applied to other thoracic malignancies. Although survival outcomes have improved, concerns about cardiac toxicity have emerged, as both chemoradiotherapy and ICIs are independently cardiotoxic and their combined effects remain unclear. This scoping review first examines chemoradiotherapy-associated and ICI-associated cardiac toxicity separately, and then evaluates their convergence in combined chemoradiotherapy and ICI therapy.

[Policy Review] Radiotherapy for more efficacious novel anticancer drugs: a position paper from the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) focus group on novel systemic therapies and radiotherapy
Radiotherapy and systemic therapies have revolutionised cancer treatments and improved survival, with generally acceptable toxicity. Modern radiotherapy techniques offer precision in targeting tumours, while minimising harm to the surrounding tissues. Novel systemic therapies represent opportunities for combining innovative treatments with radiotherapy. New agents are increasingly more tumour-specific than chemotherapy, and new rational combinations with radiotherapy are emerging, allowing for a more personalised approach.

[Policy Review] A practical toolkit with recommendations for analysing and visualising patient-reported outcomes in early phase dose-finding oncology trials (OPTIMISE-AR)
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.

[Comment] Sentinel lymph node procedure in the era of new melanoma therapies
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.

We read with interest the post-hoc analysis of the pivotal API-CAT trial by Isabelle Mahé and colleagues, published in The Lancet Haematology,1 that found anaemia and/or thrombocytopenia, age 75 years or older, pulmonary embolism as the index event, and male sex to be associated with an increased risk of clinically relevant bleeding during extended anticoagulation for cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE). The authors concluded that these results were homogenous across cancer sites. However, upon closer inspection of the subgroup analyses, we noted potentially substantial heterogeneity among the identified predictors of clinically relevant bleeding according to cancer site.

NUTM1 rearrangements define a significant subset of infant B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia lacking KMT2A rearrangements. Nishimura et al integrated multiomic analyses with clinical and preclinical models, and they show a distinct molecular landscape marked by enhanced B-cell lineage commitment that differentiates NUTM1-rearranged leukemias from KMT2A-rearranged cases. The BRD9-NUTM1 fusion acts as the transforming driver while conferring chemotherapy sensitivity, providing a biological explanation for the favorable clinical outcomes observed in these patients.

Increased prevalence of clonal hematopoiesis in children with sickle cell disease
While individuals undergoing curative therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD) with gene therapy may have a predisposition to secondary myeloid malignancy, there have been conflicting reports on the prevalence of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in SCD. Ulloa et al performed targeted sequencing for CH mutations in 2318 children with SCD and 2957 controls and found that children with SCD have a higher prevalence of CH, but there is no association with hydroxyurea therapy. Notably, the majority of CH cases identified were very small “micro-CH” clones with variant allele frequencies of <2%, and it will be important to define the clinical significance of these clones.

Silencing of BCL11A by disrupting enhancer-dependent epigenetic insulation
The deceptively named transcription factor B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11A (BCL11A) is a central regulator of the fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch in erythroid cells and a therapeutic target in hemoglobinopathies. Wang et al elucidate the underlying mechanism by which CRISPR-based enhancer editing silences BCL11A, and they show that it is regulated by enhancer-dependent epigenetic insulation. Disrupting epigenetic insulation silences BCL11A and reactivates fetal hemoglobin in erythroid cells, revealing a targetable vulnerability.

Enterococcus faecalis induces MHC-II expression by the intestinal epithelium during murine graft-versus-host disease
Enterococcus has been associated with increased graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)–related mortality in preclinical models and retrospective clinical studies, although the mechanistic basis for this association has remained uncertain. Nguyen et al demonstrate that, during GVHD, Enterococcus faecalis colonization induces major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II upregulation on colonic epithelial cells through interferon gamma signaling derived from CD4+ T cells and natural killer cells. The authors posit that administration of a defined consortium of commensal bacteria to restore colonization resistance against Enterococcus and enhance propionate production is a promising strategy to mitigate GVHD.

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).

Oncology Care Provider (OCP) Training in Empathic Communication Skills to Reduce Lung Cancer Stigma
Empathy-based, stigma-reducing communication may lead to improved assessments of tobacco use and smoking cessation for patients with smoking-related cancers. These findings support the dissemination and further testing of a new ECS model for training OCPs in best practices for assessment of smoking history and engagement of patients who currently smoke in tobacco treatment delivery.

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.

Advances in the management of metastatic gastric cancer: current strategies and emerging therapeutics
The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors and novel targeted therapies and the incorporation of these agents into first-line therapy for biomarker-selected patients with metastatic gastric cancer has improved outcomes. Nonetheless, many challenges remain, including both primary and acquired resistance as well as a lack of relevant biomarkers in certain subgroups. In this Review, the authors describe the current approach to first-line therapy for patients with metastatic gastric cancer as well as emerging approaches that might improve the standard of care in the coming years.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and cancer risk: the good, the bad and the unknown
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) are widely used by individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or obesity. Both of these conditions are also associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, and this risk might be ameliorated following intentional weight loss, which can consistently be achieved with GLP1RAs. Conversely, several reports have suggested an increased risk of certain cancers, such as medullary or non-medullary thyroid cancer and pancreatic cancer among those receiving GLP1RAs. In this Review, the authors evaluate these competing risks and the underlying evidence as well as highlighting areas in which evidence is limited and more research will be needed in order to definitively understand the implications of GLP1RAs for cancer risk.

The changing landscape of oncology clinical trials in Latin America
Although oncology advances stem from clinical research, <5% of global cancer trials actively recruit patients in Latin America. Herein, I discuss why expanding inclusive trial designs and fostering multisector partnerships are essential to reduce disparities and improve the role of Latin America in global oncology research. I present examples such as the recent regulatory reforms in Brazil that aim to accelerate study approvals, as well as collaborative initiatives between local and international research groups to further strengthen clinical trial capacity.
