[Editorial] Cancer consequences of the HIV funding crisis
Reductions in development assistance funding by previous major donors—the USA, the UK, France, and Germany—have led to substantial challenges to global HIV control in 2025. Against this stark backdrop, World AIDS Day 2025 was commemorated globally on Dec 1, 2025. UNAIDS released a report ahead of the day detailing the impact of the unprecedented changing international aid landscape on global HIV control programmes worldwide, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. Failure to meet the 2030 global HIV targets could result in an additional 3·3 million new HIV infections between 2025 and 2030, according to the report.

[Comment] Is PORTEC-4a the tipping point in endometrial cancer management?
The PORTEC-4a trial1 provides, to the best of our knowledge, the first prospective, randomised evidence that a molecular integrated risk profile can safely guide adjuvant therapy decisions in high-intermediate risk endometrial cancer, reinforcing the rationale for incorporating molecular classification into clinical practice. According to Anne Sophie V M van den Heerik and colleagues’ findings in the Lancet Oncology,2 a refined molecular stratification supports a more tailored adjuvant treatment, enabling either de-escalation or intensification of radiotherapy based on individual tumour biology.

[Comment] Has the limit been reached in treatment of unresectable oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma?
SKYSCRAPER-08, a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial, marks a milestone in the treatment of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.1 Patients were randomly assigned to receive tiragolumab (a TIGIT inhibitor) plus atezolizumab (a PD-L1 inhibitor) and chemotherapy (paclitaxel and cisplatin) or to receive placebo and chemotherapy. Median progression-free survival was 6·2 months (95% CI 5·7–7·2) with tiragolumab plus atezolizumab versus 5·4 months (4·4–5·5) without (hazard ratio [HR] 0·56, 95% CI 0·45–0·70; p<0·0001), whereas median overall survival was 15·7 months (95% CI 13·3–20·4) versus 11·1 months (9·6–13·6; HR 0·70, 95% CI 0·55–0·88; p=0·0024).

[Comment] Artificial intelligence in pancreatic cancer detection: from premise to practice
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains among the deadliest cancers globally, primarily because symptoms typically appear at a late stage, resulting in diagnosis when curative treatment is no longer possible. Furthermore, detection of PDAC and other periampullary cancers on CT scans is challenging and requires specialised radiological expertise. However, even experienced radiologists miss early-stage tumours on CT scans; in a 2023 study, 15 expert radiologists achieved an average sensitivity of just 79·6% when reading contrast-enhanced CTs for PDAC.

[Comment] The promise of scalable symptom surveillance with stepped collaborative care in oncology
Guidelines for managing deleterious symptoms from cancer and its treatments have been largely underused in practice. To address this problem, the National Cancer Institute launched the Improving the Management of Symptoms During and Following Cancer Treatment (IMPACT) consortium,1 an alliance of three research centres leading large-scale trials of electronic patient-reported outcome measure (ePROM) symptom surveillance and management systems. Andrea L Cheville and colleagues2 report findings from one IMPACT trial, showing positive effects of an enhanced, electronic health record (EHR)-facilitated cancer symptom control (E2C2) intervention on patients' and survivors' symptom burden and health-care use.

[Comment] De-escalation of adjuvant radiotherapy in HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer
HPV-associated oropharyngeal carcinoma has a distinct biology and responds favourably to primary radiation (and surgery)-based treatments. The long-term survival benefit is, however, offset by chronic detrimental impact on health-related quality of life for cancer survivors due to treatment-related toxic effects such as dysphagia and xerostomia. Consequently, many toxicity-mitigating de-escalation methods are being explored for HPV-associated oropharyngeal carcinoma.1 Minimally invasive primary transoral surgery followed by de-intensification of post-operative (chemo) radiation depending on pathological risk assessment is one such investigational approach.

In September, 2025, The Lancet Oncology published results of the phase 3 MC1675 study on de-escalated adjuvant radiotherapy versus standard adjuvant treatment for human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.1 After publication, the corresponding author alerted us to numerical errors present in table 1 caused by a mistranscription of the number of patients in each category of nodal staging by AJCC 7th edition staging and AJCC 8th edition staging. These errors did not affect other data, findings, or interpretation in the paper and we have thus corrected the online version as of Dec 22, 2025.

[Correspondence] The PREOPANC-2 trial in resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer
The ESPAC1 and ESPAC1-Plus trials in 2001 and 2004 respectively established surgery and six months of adjuvant chemotherapy as the standard of care for empirically resectable pancreatic cancer. This protocol was confirmed repeatedly over the last 25 years, leading to an enormous increase in the volume of patients being treated with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. The development of improved cancer treatment strategies requires that randomised controlled trials that aimed to be practice changing should include the best current standard of care as the control group.

[Correspondence] The PREOPANC-2 trial in resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer
We congratulate Quisette P Janssen and colleagues on the phase 3 PREOPANC-2 trial.1 PREOPANC-2 was the successor of the phase 3 PREOPANC-1, which showed improved overall survival following pre-operative chemoradiotherapy and surgery versus surgery for patients with anatomically resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. In light of the superiority for post-operative FOLFIRINOX versus gemcitabine and multiple rationales for pre-operative multi-agent chemotherapy, PREOPANC-2 tested the hypothesis that overall survival was longer following pre-operative FOLFIRINOX versus the gemcitabine-based chemoradiotherapy PREOPANC-1 approach.

[Correspondence] The PREOPANC-2 trial in resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer – Authors' reply
We thank John P Neoptolemos and colleagues for their letter. They state that the ESPAC-1 trial set the standard of care for adjuvant therapy in resectable pancreatic cancer.1 However, ESPAC-1 set the standard of care for resected pancreatic cancer, including only those patients who had no occult metastases at surgery, underwent a resection, recovered from surgery, had no early recurrence, and remained fit for adjuvant treatment. In the adjuvant group of nine randomised controlled trials comparing neoadjuvant with adjuvant therapy, only 80% of all patients with resectable pancreatic cancer became patients with resected pancreatic cancer.

[Policy Review] A comprehensive framework for glioma surgery by the PIONEER Consortium and RANO resect group, part 1: intraoperative recommendations for mapping, monitoring, and decision making
In adult patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent diffuse glioma, more extensive resection is associated with longer progression-free and overall survival. Intraoperative mapping techniques are used to safely increase the extent of resection by locating, monitoring, and preserving the function of potentially infiltrated brain during surgery. However, there is no consensus on the indications for intraoperative mapping, the optimal functional tests to be used intraoperatively, or intraoperative decision making.

[Policy Review] A comprehensive framework for glioma surgery by the PIONEER Consortium and RANO resect group, part 2: perioperative recommendations for neurological, language, functional, and quality-of-life assessment
Historically, the assessment of surgical outcomes in patients with glioma has been focused on technical outcomes, such as volumetric analysis of the residual tumour, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Other outcomes, such as neurological deficits, can be challenging to assess in an objective, quantifiable, and comprehensive manner. As a result, no consensus is available on methods to systematically evaluate perioperative neurological, language, cognitive, and functional outcomes in patients with glioma.

[Policy Review] International consensus recommendations and alignment of terminology for the histopathological diagnosis of extranodal extension in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: an HN-CLEAR initiative
Histopathologically detected extranodal extension leads to upstaging and treatment escalation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. There is considerable variation in the prevalence of histopathologically detected extranodal extension in comparable studies. The Head and Neck Cancer International Group, which includes 23 organisations managing patients with head and neck cancer, identified several challenges in evaluating histopathologically detected extranodal extension. Thus, the Head and Neck Consensus Language for Ease and Reproducibility (HN-CLEAR) and its global stakeholders prioritised developing diagnostic criteria and uniform terminology for histopathologically detected extranodal extension.

WHO is calling on governments to raise taxes on alcoholic beverages and sugary drinks after two new reports show both have become cheaper over the past few years. National tax policies should ensure these unhealthy products become less affordable over time, highlights WHO. However, the reports released on Jan 13, 2026, reveal that only 37 countries have achieved this trend for beer and only 34 for sugar-sweetened carbonated drinks. Allowing sugary drinks and alcohol to become more affordable will result in a rise in non-communicable diseases and injuries, warns WHO.

I was 8 years old when my spleen nearly ruptured. The first sign was not pain but the sudden inability to finish dinner—dangerous ground in a Cypriot immigrant family. My mother rubbed warm olive oil on my abdomen, a home remedy that offered comfort but no cure. Days later we learned my spleen had grown so large it pressed against my stomach, making eating impossible. Despite days in hospital and a transfusion, my greatest relief was being absolved of the cardinal sin of leaving my mother's louví (black eyed peas) unfinished.

[Viewpoint] Management of transfusion-dependent β-thalassaemia in the era of novel therapies: a prioritisation-based matrix for settings with limited resources
β-thalassaemia is an inherited haemoglobinopathy characterised by ineffective erythropoiesis and chronic anaemia of varying severity, which is predominant in the region extending from the Mediterranean basin and Middle East towards southeast Asia. Patients with severe phenotypes require lifelong transfusions, iron overload monitoring, and chelation. Suboptimal management due to access challenges continues to be directly linked to increased morbidity and mortality in many regions. In the past few decades, an improved understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of β-thalassaemia has led to the development of several disease-modifying therapies and curative gene manipulation techniques.

Insights from single-cell omics: cellular heterogeneity as a foundation of clinical outcome in chronic myeloid leukemia
While the great majority of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) do well long-term with modern therapy that inhibits ABL tyrosine kinase activity, patients who do not respond deeply or who progress on therapy remain a challenge. The key to overcoming this is better understanding of the biology of CML diversity. Thakur and Karlsson cogently review what we have learned in recent years from the study of single cells, including leukemia stem cells in multiomic studies. They synthesize the data into working models and suggest a roadmap for future research directions that may assist future clinical practice.

Target antigen and plasma cell phenotype are critical factors for sensitivity to response-adapted daratumumab therapy
Daratumumab (Dara) is a cornerstone of modern first-line therapy for multiple myeloma, but not all patients are fit enough to receive Dara-containing triplet or quadruplet combination therapy. In a phase 2 study, Meads et al assessed a response-adapted approach commencing with Dara for 2 months for older, frail patients. They found that more than one-third of the patients did not require addition of other agents to achieve a durable response and that CD38 was typically highly expressed in their myelomas. Further, they showed that there is dynamic loss of plasma cell transcriptional programs with Dara exposure and that baseline transcriptional phenotype resembling memory B cells and signatures of exhausted immune microenvironment are associated with Dara resistance.

The fully human anti-GPRC5D CAR T-cell therapy RD118 induces durable remissions in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma
G protein–coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) has emerged as an attractive alternative target in multiple myeloma (MM) because it is expressed independently of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) on malignant plasma cells but has limited expression in normal tissues. In a phase 1 trial, Pan et al demonstrated that RD118, a fully human GPRC5D-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, induced durable remissions in a high proportion of patients with heavily pretreated MM, including 5 of 7 with relapse after BCMA-directed CAR T-cell therapy. In contrast to previous GPRC5D-targeted CAR T-cell studies, no cerebellar toxicity was reported. Although these early data require validation, they are highly promising.

Dynamic rRNA methylation regulates translation in the hematopoietic system and is essential for stem cell fitness
In recent years, RNA posttranscriptional modifications, collectively known as the epitranscriptome, have emerged as new players in the regulation of hematopoiesis. By combining CRISPR screening and molecular and functional analyses, Rabany and colleagues reveal compelling evidence that rRNA modifications act as a fine-tuning mechanism of translation regulation in hematopoiesis. This has direct consequences for the determination of stem cell fate.

Boosting CAR T-cell efficacy by blocking proteasomal degradation of membrane antigens
The majority of patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM) treated with B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)–targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells will progress. Rieger et al describe the regulation of BCMA expression at the cell membrane by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. They provide data supporting the use of proteasome inhibitors as a way of increasing the abundance of BCMA on MM cells and, consequently, increasing BCMA CAR T-cell efficacy. Preliminary clinical data indicate that carfilzomib therapy after post–CAR T-cell progression does increase BCMA expression and in some instances may appear to trigger a CAR T-cell–mediated response, setting the scene for formal evaluation of this approach.

Üstok and colleagues overcame a barrier to solving critical structural aspects of prothrombinase by engineering a human prothrombinase complex that assembles without membranes, allowing its high-resolution structural determination by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Their solution aligns with biochemical research and sheds new light on a critical protein-protein interaction with significant modulatory implications for hemostasis and anticoagulant development.

Menin inhibition enhances graft-versus-leukemia effects by T-cell activation and endogenous retrovirus induction in AML
Menin inhibitors are emerging as novel treatments for a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), especially those with lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) rearrangements or nucleophosmin (NPM1) mutations, where they interrupt inappropriate self-renewal. Fetsch and colleagues demonstrate that menin inhibitors can also work in less direct ways by promoting immune elimination of AML through the dual actions of increasing leukemia immunogenicity and enhancing T-cell effector function. This work provides a strong rationale for clinical testing of menin inhibitors in the post–allogeneic transplant setting, either as maintenance or for occult or overt relapse in concert with donor lymphocyte infusion.

Global dose prescription variances exemplified through oropharynx cancer: when is 70 Gray 70 Gray?
Radiotherapy treatment planning hinges on a critical factor: the prescribed dose. Surprisingly, there is no consistent, standardised global approach to evaluating the dosimetry of this prescription across different centres treating head and neck cancer (HNC). This study aimed to quantify global dose variations for identical prescriptions across international centres treating oropharyngeal cancer, to establish the foundation for future outcome-based studies and improve consistency of interpretation worldwide.

Predictors of Vertebral Compression Fracture Following Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in SINS Potentially Unstable Spinal Metastases
The Spinal Instability in Neoplasia Score (SINS) is the gold standard to determine if the metastatically involved spine is stable, potentially unstable, or frankly unstable. In potentially unstable spines, clarity is needed about the risk of post-stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) vertebral compression fracture (VCF) and which patients may benefit from early stabilization. We aimed to identify predictors of VCF following spine SBRT in patients with potentially unstable SINS spinal metastases..

Deformable dose mapping and accumulation techniques for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of lung cancers
Deformable dose mapping (DDM) and accumulation (DDA) are essential tools in lung cancer stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Here we provide a critical review of deformable image registration (DIR)–based dose mapping and accumulation techniques in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung cancers, with emphasis on methodological principles, clinical applications, limitations, and guidance for practice. A broad appraisal of the literature was conducted, emphasizing deformable image registration (DIR) algorithms and related dose mapping strategies, including direct dose mapping (DDM), voxel warping, and energy/mass-congruent mapping (EMCM).

NImmuno-radiobiology: Effects of radiation therapy on immune cells, tumor microenvironment, susceptibility of tumor cells to immune-mediated destruction, and anti-tumor immunity
Immuno-radiobiology is an interdisciplinary field exploring the interactions between ionizing radiation therapy, the tumor-immune microenvironment, and the immune system. The immune response to radiation is an important contributor to the efficacy of radiotherapy and has the potential to influence susceptibility to immunotherapies. Preclinical and some clinical evidence suggest combinations of radiotherapy with immunotherapies improve tumor response, but a greater understanding of their interacting mechanisms is needed to optimize these combinations.

Uterine Transposition Prior to Pelvic Radiation: First Canadian Center
Pelvic radiation therapy is central to the curative treatment of a range of malignancies, including rectal, anal, gynecologic, and pediatric pelvic tumors, but it inevitably leads to irreversible damage to reproductive organs.1 The ovaries are exquisitely radiosensitive, and doses as low as 2 Gy can impair ovarian reserve, whereas cumulative doses above 6 to 10 Gy usually result in permanent ovarian insufficiency.2 The uterus is also profoundly affected, because radiation therapy induces endometrial atrophy, myometrial fibrosis, and vascular compromise, resulting in amenorrhea, uterine shrinkage, and complete loss of reproductive capacity.

Pretreatment Chromosomal Instability Correlates With Radiation Sensitivity in Squamous Cell Cancers
Continuous chromosome missegregation over successive mitotic divisions, known as chromosomal instability (CIN), is common in cancer. Though it has been associated with treatment resistance and poor prognosis, increasing CIN above a maximally tolerated threshold leads to cell death because of loss of essential chromosomes. Because radiation causes CIN, we hypothesize that pre-existing CIN sensitizes tumor cells to radiation therapy.

The Critical Role of Dose Homogeneity in Modern Breast Hypofractionation
The evolution of breast cancer radiotherapy has witnessed a paradigm shift from conventional fractionation to hypofractionation and now ultra-hypofractionation, with multiple randomized trials demonstrating non-inferiority in both disease control and cosmetic outcomes. A central, yet under-emphasized, determinant of this success is plan optimization by dose homogeneity. As fraction size increases, the biological impact of dose heterogeneity becomes magnified, making volumetric control of high-dose regions essential for both cosmesis and reducing late-effects.

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).
