Presented at #IGCS2026: Our structured needs assessment on Gynecologic Oncology capacity in Sudan post-armed conflict (14 facilities across 10 states): โ€ข Brachytherapy unavailable across all surveyed sites โ€ข Radiation wait times >5โ€“8 weeks where referrals exist โ€ข Screening absent in 79% of centers Internally displaced persons comprise up to 50% of the patient volume at receiving peripheral centers, alongside severe deficits in surgical oncology workforce and basic palliative care (oral morphine). Targeted global oncology support is urgent. โ€‹๐Ÿ“š shorturl.at/RE7To @IGCSociety

โ€œFull biomarker testingโ€ doesnโ€™t tell us everything. A WCLC study presented by @GlopesMd found one more MET exon 14 case by adding RNA analysis to a blood-based DNA test. The new ask: Does our blood test analyze both ctDNA and ctRNA, or ctDNA alone? #WCLC26 #METex14 #LCSM @IASLC

This randomized trial examined whether adding a multicancer early-detection blood test to usual care reduces late-stage cancer diagnoses in adults 50 to 77 years of age. Research findings from the NHS-Galleri trial are summarized in a new Quick Take video. nej.md/4iZFheW

How should we govern AI in health professions education? 1/5 AI in health professions education is not just a technology question. It is a question of governance, ethics, academic integrity, equity and professional identity. Our critical narrative review examines these challenges. ๐Ÿ“„ shorturl.at/V450L 2/5 First: governance. Institutional responses may be fragmented, while educational applications of AI continue to evolve. How can policies remain useful without becoming quickly outdated? 3/5 Second: ethics. AI raises difficult questions about autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justiceโ€”particularly when systems are opaque or data-driven. 4/5 Third and fourth: generative AI challenges established ideas of authorship and academic integrity, while bias and unequal access raise concerns about equity and professional development. 5/5 Responsible AI in medical education needs more than a blanket โ€œallowโ€ or โ€œban.โ€ Our review proposes a risk-based governance taxonomy. What should institutions prioritise first: transparency, assessment integrity, fairness or accountability? #MedicalEducation #AIethics

Pretty stunning review on advances in breast cancer treatment in this weekโ€™s NEJM So many new approvals since 2020 that they could only fit on a 2-page centerfold!!! Looks like itโ€™s the roaring 20s in breast cancer research! #bcsm

๐Ÿงฌ Can molecular profiling help us understand survival after liver-directed therapy in metastatic uveal melanoma? Our abstract in ESMO Open explores the impact of tumour biology on outcomes following chemosaturation with percutaneous hepatic perfusion (CS-PHP). In our cohort of 12 patients, exploratory molecular analysis found that: ๐Ÿ”น BAP1 loss/mutation was associated with shorter overall survival ๐Ÿ”น Monosomy 3 was also associated with less favourable outcomes These findings suggest that molecular features may provide important prognostic information beyond clinical treatment outcomes and could potentially help refine patient selection and treatment strategies. The study also reports an ORR of 66.7%, median hepatic PFS of 18.4 months and median OS of 28 months, with no treatment-related fatalities. While these molecular findings require validation in larger prospective cohorts, they highlight the importance of integrating tumour biology with liver-directed treatment in metastatic uveal melanoma. ๐Ÿ“„ Read our study in ESMO Open: shorturl.at/Z6ald

Guidelines still disagree on how long to taper steroids after ICI-myocarditis. ESC favours 17โ€“20 weeks to reduce recurrence, SITC/ASCO/NCCN favour 4โ€“6 weeks to limit infection, metabolic and CV toxicity. Convert IV to oral prednisone ~1 mg/kg (max 80 mg) once troponin has fallen >50% & the patient is electrically and haemodynamically stable. Then individualise the taper to troponin normalisationโ€”not a fixed calendar. #CardioOnc #CardioOncology #ICI #Myocarditis #irAE #Immunotherapy rdcu.be/4ExuHmNDiGna

Landmark, practice-changing data at @IASLC #WCLC26! ๐Ÿšจ The Phase 3 MAVERIC trial compared PCI vs MRI surveillance in SCLC (~68% LS, 32% ES). โžก๏ธMRI surveillance improved cognitive failure-free survival (CFFS) with NO detriment to OS, avoiding the significant G3+ toxicity of the PCI arm. While PCI decreased brain mets, PFS was unchanged. In the MRI era, PCI has no clear role in either LS- or ES-SCLC management. RIP PCI! ๐Ÿชฆ๐Ÿ‘‹

IASLC expert panel proposes an updated pulmonary carcinoid/NET classification ( Expected to be included into the forthcoming WHO thoracic blue book) 1. Keep โ€œcarcinoidโ€ as the main diagnostic term for thoracic clinicians, while moving toward the โ€œNETโ€ nomenclature used in other organs 2. Add Ki-67 as a diagnostic criterion. 5% threshold is pulmonary specific 3. Formally recognize rare carcinoid/NET G3 tumors (higher proliferation, but molecularly closer to NETs than to high-grade NECs) More on jto.org/article/S1556-0864%2โ€ฆ Slides below from Dr. Bellizziโ€™s presentation: Whatโ€™s New in Neuroendocrine Tumors (WHO 6th Edition, 2026) youtube.com/live/o8IqIDiN_Jwโ€ฆ #pathology #pathX

Delighted to share our new review, open access in Discover Medicine: "Current evidence on the diagnosis and management of immune checkpoint inhibitor associated myocarditis." A practical map through a rare but frequently fatal irAE. Thread ICI-myocarditis hits ~1% of patients on checkpoint inhibitors, more with combination regimens. Mortality was reported as high as 50% in early cohorts โ€” recent data (2021โ€“22) puts it closer to 26%, likely from earlier detection + faster steroids ๐Ÿงต.

Diagnosis: we walk through the IC-OS 2021 criteria and the 2024 ACC Consensus Pathway โ€” troponin-anchored, cardiac MRI as the major imaging criterion, endomyocardial biopsy as the diagnostic fail-safe when CMR is non-diagnostic or the patient is unstable. 4/ Risk stratification: a validated 8-point score predicts 30-day MACE from 4% (score 0) to >80% (score โ‰ฅ4) using thymoma status, symptoms, QRS voltage, LVEF and troponin magnitude. Very-low-risk patients may avoid high-dose steroids entirely.

Up to 50% of patients fail first-line high-dose corticosteroids. We review the evidence โ€” almost all case-series level โ€” for second-line agents: MMF, tacrolimus, abatacept, ATG, infliximab, tocilizumab, ruxolitinib. No RCT data yet exists for any of them.
