[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. Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0800
[Comment] Beyond regional boundaries: crucial gaps in global breast cancer burden estimates The Lancet Oncology Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) study on global breast cancer burden provides comprehensive epidemiological trends from 1990 to 2023, with projections to 2050.1 According to this study, breast cancer was the most diagnosed cancer up until 2023.2 Although this ambitious undertaking addresses crucial needs in global oncology, several methodological concerns warrant attention before these estimates inform policy decisions and resource allocation. Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0800
[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.

[Comment] New directions in combination treatment of uveal melanoma with liver metastases 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. Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0800
[Comment] Stepping through the PORTAL: moving toward personalised management of oligorecurrent prostate cancer Timo F W Soeterik and colleagues1 are to be congratulated for their important contribution to guiding personalised treatment in patients with oligorecurrent prostate cancer, published in The Lancet Oncology. In this multicentre retrospective analysis, the authors curated a cohort of more than 500 men with metachronous oligometastatic prostate cancer who underwent prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET for disease characterisation, followed by ablative radiotherapy to all sites of oligometastases.

[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. Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0800
[Correspondence] AI-assisted screening for pancreatic cancer – Authors' reply We thank Hans Scherübl and Misha D P Luyer1 for their insightful comments on the PANORAMA study,2 regarding the challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), particularly in early-stage disease.

[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. Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0800
[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.

[Articles] Global, regional, and national burden of breast cancer among females, 1990–2023, with forecasts to 2050: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023 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.

[Policy Review] The OligoPanc project: an interdisciplinary expert consensus statement on oligometastatic pancreatic cancer Currently, no consensus exists regarding the definition of oligometastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, its necessary diagnostic measures, and potential treatment approaches. To address these knowledge gaps, the OligoPanc project brought together an interdisciplinary group of experts to establish consensus using a modified Delphi process and clinical vignettes. Participants agreed that the number of metastatic lesions and the number of affected organs are key elements in defining oligometastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

[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] An international modified Delphi study to prioritise levels of evidence and outcomes to appraise radiotherapy innovation in the ESTRO Value-Based Radiation Oncology framework This international Delphi study, led by the European Society of Radiation Oncology as part of their Value-Based Radiation Oncology programme, brought together key experts from the radiation oncology community to build consensus on both the level of evidence and the endpoints that are essential to support clinical implementation or policy decisions (eg, reimbursement) for different types of radiotherapy innovations. Although randomised trial evidence remained a high priority across most innovation types, other evidence, such as high-quality prospective observational studies or alternative designs such as pragmatic trials, was found to be a suitable alternative in specific scenarios.

[Comment] Antibody–drug conjugates for bladder sparing: lessons from SURE-02 trial
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. 2026-02-27T20:00:01Z

[Correspondence] Predictors of clinically relevant bleeding during extended anticoagulation for cancer-associated VTE 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.

[In Focus] Tele-prehabilitation for allogeneic HCT Allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains a potentially curative option for patients with high-risk haematological malignancies, albeit at the cost of substantial morbidity and mortality. Advances in transplantation practices and supportive care have expanded eligibility to older patients and to those with significant comorbidities. In this evolving landscape, frailty assessment has become a crucial component of pre-transplantation evaluation, as it is consistently associated with increased transplantation-related complications, prolonged hospitalisation, and inferior survival.

[Viewpoint] Myelodysplastic syndromes versus acute myeloid leukaemia: biology or blasts—what truly defines the disease and does it matter? The distinction between myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukaemia remains a subject of debate, with direct implications for clinical decisions, trial eligibility, and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation allocation. Although the historical 20% blast threshold in bone marrow is commonly used to separate myelodysplastic syndromes from acute myeloid leukaemia, emerging evidence shows that morphological, cytogenetic, and molecular features provide a more accurate framework for diagnosis and risk stratification.

Introduction to a review series on hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a syndrome of life-threatening hyperinflammation that challenges pediatric and adult hematologists. Deputy Editors Helen E. Heslop and Jorge Di Paola introduce a 2-piece review series on this rare condition that, once seen, is not forgotten. Its descriptive name reflects an era when we did not understand the pathobiology of a group of diseases unified in common presenting features reflecting uncontrolled immune activation and excessive proinflammatory cytokine production. Verkamp, Jordan, and Allen address pediatric HLH, which is now well recognized to be underpinned by genetic lesions that undermine immune-cell cytotoxicity. They describe how presentations are driven by the intersection of genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers. Hsu, Nikiforow, and Berliner review adult-onset HLH, which is more heterogeneous with a wide array of provoking stimuli and which often occurs in the absence of a known predisposing genetic immune defect. Both reviews cover recent advances arising from the use of targeted therapies directed at activated T cells and cytokine signaling pathways. The role of allogeneic stem cell transplantation is emphasized for pediatric patients, and the recently described entity “immune effector cell–associated HLH-like syndrome” after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is also explained.

Volume 147, Issue 10 March 5 2026 CPX-351 vs daunorubicin, cytarabine, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin in older adults with non–adverse-risk AML: the NCRI AML18 trial The optimal induction regimen for fit older adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is controversial. Knapper and colleagues report the results of a large, randomized trial of daunorubicin (D) and cytosine arabinoside (A) with 2 doses of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) (DA-GO2) vs liposomal fixed-ratio D and A (CPX-351) in AML without adverse cytogenetics, with DA-GO2 providing superior event-free and overall survival and less prolonged hematological toxicity. Now we need to know how this augmented regimen compares with lower-intensity venetoclax-based regimens.
Volume 147, Issue 10 March 5 2026 A CD22-specific T-cell receptor enables effective adoptive T-cell therapy for B-cell malignancies CD22 is a potential antigen target for cellular therapy of B-cell malignancies, but expression can be low and this is a disadvantage for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) approaches. Rhein and colleagues report a novel, high-affinity T-cell receptor (TCR) that recognizes CD22 and, when integrated into autologous T cells, results in improved antitumor activity compared to CAR T cells, both in vitro and in model systems in vivo. Use of TCRs with these qualities warrants evaluation in future clinical trials.
Volume 147, Issue 10 March 5 2026 Selective B-cell subset depletion underlies increased infection risk in patients with MM treated with anti-BCMA vs anti-GPRC5D bsAbs Anti–B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) are transforming treatment for relapsed multiple myeloma (MM), but infection is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality with these agents in this setting. Jelinek et al help explain this by demonstrating that BCMA is expressed from the early pre-B-cell maturation stage onwards, and consequently anti-BCMA bsAbs deplete B-cell subsets as well as plasma cells, especially mature B cells. In contrast, the expression of G protein–coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) is highly restricted to malignant and normal plasma cells, and the data from this study suggest that, while still common, infections are less frequent with anti-GPRC5D bsAb therapy.
Volume 147, Issue 10 March 5 2026 Pharmacological inhibition of miR-126 enhances venetoclax activity in acute myeloid leukemia Prior studies indicate that quiescent, chemotherapy-resistant acute myeloid leukemia stem cells (AML LSCs) are characterized by low oxidative phosphorylation and high expression of microRNA-126 (miR-126). Zhang and colleagues demonstrate that pharmacologic inhibition of miR-126 potently perturbs the metabolic homeostasis and leukemogenic activity of AML LSCs and can resensitize resistant AML cells to venetoclax. Their data offer new mechanistic insights and offer translational promise for overcoming resistance to regimens such as venetoclax-azacitidine.
Volume 147, Issue 10 March 5 2026 Azacitidine to treat measurable residual disease in patients with MDS/AML: final long-term results of the RELAZA2 trial Should we test for measurable residual disease (MRD) longitudinally after MRD-negative complete remission of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is achieved? If so, should we intervene at the point of detection of MRD reemergence? Platzbecker et al report the final results of the single-arm RELAZA2 trial, the first prospective study to evaluate the clinical impact of early therapeutic intervention for MRD relapse, using azacitidine for up to 2 years. While 63% of patients initiating on azacitidine maintained remission at 6 months, most eventually relapsed, although approximately 50% of those whose MRD converted to negative remained relapse-free more than 2 years after cessation of azacitidine, suggesting a major benefit. This pioneering study has inspired a suite of ongoing MRD intervention studies using a range of targeted agents.
Volume 147, Issue 10 March 5 2026 IFN-γ increases δ-globin gene expression through activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in erythroid cells Therapeutic efforts to increase nonsickling hemoglobin in sickle cell disease (SCD) have generally focused on induction of fetal hemoglobin. However, adult hemoglobin A2 (HbA2; α2δ2) also inhibits HbS polymerization. Zhu et al reveal that interferon gamma (IFN-γ) therapy produces a significant activation of δ-globin gene transcription via STAT1/3 phosphorylation and HbA2 induction in a model erythroid cell line and normal and sickle-derived erythroid progenitors. This work opens new avenues for exploration of induction of HbA2 as alternative therapy for SCD.
Volume 147, Issue 10 March 5 2026 PD-1–based combinations before autologous transplant are associated with improved outcomes in classical Hodgkin lymphoma A significant minority of patients with advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) will relapse after frontline therapy, and some will have primary refractory disease. In a retrospective study of almost 1300 patients, Desai et al report that programmed death protein 1 inhibitor (PD-1i)–based salvage regimens prior to autologous transplantation are associated with improved progression-free survival compared to regimens based on chemotherapy or brentuximab vedotin, independent of potential confounders such as pretransplant remission state. These data reinforce the findings of small studies and make the case for incorporation of PD-1i in salvage for patients not previously treated with these agents in first-line therapy.

Pretreatment risk model for radiation-induced lymphopenia is associated with adjuvant durvalumab efficacy in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC.
Severe radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) during concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for NSCLC has been associated with poorer outcomes and reduced immunotherapy efficacy. Because RIL often develops late during CCRT, identifying patients at risk before treatment may be clinically relevant. This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram based on pretreatment predictors for severe RIL, and secondarily to explore associations between predicted RIL risk and adjuvant durvalumab-associated survival.
Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 18F-Fluciclovine for Detection of Recurrent Brain Metastases After Radiotherapy: Image Interpretation Criteria and Diagnostic Performance from the PURSUE Study : Differentiating recurrent brain metastases (BM) from treatment-related changes post-radiotherapy remains challenging. PURSUE (NCT04410367) evaluated various lesion uptake metrics to establish image interpretation criteria to detect recurrent BM with 18F-fluciclovine PET.
Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 Homologous Recombination and Alternative End-Joining Repair Pathways are Important Determinants of Radiosensitivity to Proton Radiotherapy Proton beam radiotherapy (PBT) offers superior accuracy of dose deposition, reducing the risk of adverse effects to surrounding healthy tissues. However, despite high medical need, molecular and cellular determinants of radiosensitivity to proton radiotherapy remain underexplored, and prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets informing precision medicine strategies for PBT are mostly missing. This study aimed to investigate the role of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways in shaping tumor response to proton versus photon radiation.
Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 Integrating genomic and non-genomic data to stratify the risk of contralateral breast cancer after radiotherapy Women treated with radiation therapy (RT) for breast cancer have an increased risk of developing radiation-associated contralateral breast cancer (CBC). Predicting CBC events is challenging due to the complex interplay of genomic, treatment, personal, and clinical factors. This study investigated computational methods that integrate genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and non-genomic data to develop a risk stratification model for developing CBC in women treated with RT for their first primary breast cancer.
Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 Design and Implementation of Novel Internal Mini Fellowship Concentrations within a Radiation Oncology Residency Program Resident and faculty impressions of novel mini-fellowship concentrations in multiple disease sites during radiation oncology training were assessed.
Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 PSA and PSMA kinetics after PSMA-PET & MR guided prostate SBRT with focal boost: Results from the phase II PROBE trial To evaluate PSA and PSMA kinetics following PSMA-PET and MR guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and short-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL) boost in localised prostate cancer.
Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 Integration of Breast Reconstruction and Radiation: How the Proton–Photon Debate Exposes Methodological Gaps, Analytical Bias, and Lack of Consensus For breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and reconstruction, postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) jeopardizes reconstruction outcomes, yet no universal consensus exists for integrating PMRT with breast reconstruction. The recent expansion of proton therapy has intensified a debate over its role in this setting. While protons offer superior dosimetry and cardiac sparing compared to photons, several studies -focusing on implant-based reconstruction- report higher rates of capsular contracture and reconstruction failure with protons, whereas others show comparable protons outcomes to photons.
Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 Ultra-hypofractionated whole breast irradiation and sequential tumor bed boost for early breast cancer (SHIFT): primary results of a multicentre, Phase 2 trial The multicentre, single-arm, phaseⅡSHIFT trial evaluated an ultra-hypofractionated (UHF) radiotherapy (RT) regimen that completes both whole-breast irradiation (WBI) and a sequential tumor bed boost within 1.5 weeks, with the primary endpoint of acute toxicity.
Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 First Patient Study with Visual Biofeedback for Gating Delivery Efficiency Improvements on a 1.5 T MR-linac Breathing-induced motion of abdominothoracic lesions is an important source of uncertainty in radiotherapy. Beam gating improves delivery precision, but lengthens treatment delivery time, which can potentially be counteracted by biofeedback (BF). In this study, we investigated if providing BF results in higher delivery efficiency and benefits the patient experience.
Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 External Validation of The Proliferation Saturation Index Model in Predicting Tumour Volume Regression in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Undergoing Radiation Therapy The Proliferation Saturation Index (PSI) model is a patient-specific mathematical model designed to simulate and predict tumour volume regression (TVR) during radiation therapy (RT) using early treatment response dynamics.

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 Continuous, Preclinical Activity Reconstruction in 177Lu-based Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Using a Sparse Uncollimated γ-Sensor Network 177Lu-based radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) has shown increasing promise in the treatment of neuroendocrine and metastatic prostate cancer. Delivering optimal radiation dose to tumors while minimizing dose to organs-at-risk (OAR) remains an unmet need due to significant patient-to-patient heterogeneity in treatment response, necessitating multiple snapshots of the in vivo activity distribution. Towards this goal, here we present a high temporal-resolution activity reconstruction method demonstrated on preclinical prostate cancer models.
Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 A Systematic Review of Patient-Reported Outcomes on the Impact of Radiotherapy on Sexual Health in Gynecologic Cancer Patients To evaluate the impact of radiotherapy on sexual health in women with gynecological cancers.
Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800 A Gantry-Mounted Photon Counting Detector CT Prototype for Image-Guided Proton Therapy Purpose: Currently, on-board kV imaging systems on proton therapy machines typically employ scintillator-based energy-integrating detectors (EIDs) to acquire planar images or cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans. However, EID-based CBCT is limited by suboptimal image quality and poor quantification accuracy, falling short of the requirements for online adaptive proton therapy and other advanced imaging tasks for proton therapy. This study aims to experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of on-board photon-counting detector (PCD) CT imaging by integrating a PCD with a proton therapy gantry Methods and Materials: A CdTe-based PCD, featuring a pixel size of 100 μm and two energy channels, was mounted onto the surface of the existing flat-panel EIDs of an IBA Proteus ONE proton therapy system.
