Biomarker development in oncology is one of the most complex challenges in modern pathology. The newsletter covers how AI and multimodal data integration could bridge the gap between tumour biology and current diagnostic tools. Also featured: the persistent gaps in breast cancer screening for transgender patients, and how to overcome them, the role of photon-counting CT in improving lung cancer diagnostics, and new findings on how circadian rhythms affect the efficacy of radiotherapy. Enjoy reading!

Breast screening blind spot: Why transgender patients are falling through the cracks

Transgender patients are largely invisible in breast cancer screening statistics – and many never receive an invitation to participate in screening programmes. Guidelines exist, but awareness among referring physicians remains low. Experts say ...

News • Sharper images, less radiation

Lung cancer management: Photon-counting CT outperforms conventional CT

A study of 200 lung cancer patients shows photon-counting CT cuts radiation by 66% and contrast agent by 27% - while delivering sharper images and better tumor detection than conventional CT.

New iMRI tech to make brain surgery safer, faster and more precise

A new kind of intraoperative MRI (iMRI) can perform functional MRI scans in real time during brain surgery — helping surgeons detect potential complications in as little as seven seconds.

News • Research on metastasis mechanism

How ovarian cancer hijacks abdominal cells as an invasion force

Due to its rapid spread in the abdomen, ovarian cancer is often only detected at an advanced stage. Now, scientists have discovered how this cancer takes advantage of other cells for metastasis.

News • Promising trial results from Spain

Clot-dissolving drug after thrombectomy may improve stroke recovery

Even after a blood clot is removed from a large brain artery via thrombectomy, administering the thrombolytic drug alteplase to the area may improve stroke recovery, a new trial from Spain shows.

News • Digital tool for point-of-care screening

AI stethoscope shows promise in detecting heart disease

An AI-assisted stethoscope could help doctors identify patients with valvular heart disease who may otherwise go undiagnosed. This could reduce hospital admissions and overall healthcare costs.

News • Cancer “chronotherapy”

Beating cancer by the clock: Why the time of day matters for radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is more effective when administered at the right time of day, according to new research. This discovery opens the door to cancer “chronotherapy”, the researchers hope.
