Honored to be among these remarkable women who are shaping the future of oncology. 💫 For me, this recognition is not only about an individual — it is a reminder of the responsibility we carry to turn knowledge, innovation and collaboration into better cancer care and better chances for every patient. Proud to contribute to this journey from Albania, and grateful to everyone who believes that progress in oncology must reach every patient, everywhere. 🇦🇱 Thank you @oncodaily for shining a light on the women who are helping move our field forward.
As we continue our special OncoDaily tradition - the 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 - We’re proud to introduce the first 10 remarkable women featured in our 2026 list💫 🪄Evis Sala (@EvisSala) is one of the first 10 women featured in the 100 Influential Women in Oncology 2026 list. She is the Minister of Health and Social Welfare of Albania🇦🇱 In this role, she has placed oncology at the center of national health reform, advancing the creation of a National Oncology Institute and Cancer Network, introducing new standardized cancer-treatment protocols, expanding regional chemotherapy and radiotherapy capacity, increasing funding for anticancer medicines, and strengthening cervical cancer screening and HPV prevention. She is also a Professor of Radiology at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Rome and previously chaired the Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS.

🙏 Mammograms find some cancers 😞 However, in UK approx 3500 cancers are missed in dense breasts annually 🙏 Following a mammogram, stay breast aware 🙏 If you notice any changes in your breasts contact your GP More info: DenseBreast-info.org #DenseBreasts #FindltEarly

🧠🔬 PSMA PET: The Answer to MRI-Occult Prostate Cancer… or Another Mirage? Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) has transformed the diagnostic pathway for prostate cancer, yet a substantial proportion of clinically significant prostate cancers (csPCa) may still remain undetected in patients with negative or equivocal MRI findings. This commentary explores the emerging role of PSMA PET/CT as a complementary imaging modality for detecting MRI-occult disease, highlighting evidence from prospective studies such as PRIMARY and PEDAL. The authors discuss how PSMA PET may improve sensitivity and negative predictive value while potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies in selected patients with persistent clinical suspicion of prostate cancer. 🧲☢️ "At the same time, important questions remain regarding the biological significance of PSMA-positive/MRI-negative lesions, optimal patient selection, cost-effectiveness, and the risk of overdetecting clinically indolent disease. These findings reinforce the growing concept that prostate cancer imaging should move beyond single-modality assessment toward a more integrated, biology-driven diagnostic framework. 🔍" - Sonja Jankovic #ProstateCancer #PSMAPET #MRI #EuropeanRadiology buff.ly/V19ocxp (Thomas Wagner et al.)

It is happening. Pubmed (pubmed.gov) is gone. And so is cancer.gov. European science really needs to wake up. Technical info: tldr.nettime.org/@ww/1140899…

Happy that #RSNA24 organized an IRIYA alumni reception. Wonderful to catch up, reconnect with my cohort (2022), and learn about the many opportunities that came our way after participating ⭐️ The IRIYA world is also small as I work with some of them in NASCI and #RGTeam
