Welcome to 2026! The new year brings fresh perspectives on critical healthcare challenges, such as addressing inequities. For example, breast imaging for male and transgender patients reveals significant knowledge gaps, with a pan-European survey highlighting the absence of standardised protocols. Meanwhile, coordinated screening shows promise in improving lung cancer detection for women. The newsletter also explores how AI in pathology may inadvertently introduce demographic bias in cancer diagnosis, and how this can be avoided. Enjoy reading!
