Adolescents and young adults with cancer require recognition as a distinct patient group. At the NCCN 2026 Annual Conference, experts called for dedicated pathways addressing AYA-specific needs for this long-overlooked patient group. This newsletter also offers a nuanced view on AI-powered systems in healthcare: LLMs outperform physicians at summarizing cancer pathology reports, yet AI scribes for documentation only show modest effects on clinician burnout. Also featured: echocardiography-guided CPR enhancing resuscitation, promising new biomarkers and more. Enjoy reading!

Article • Experts explore often-overlooked patient group in oncology
For a young adult, a cancer diagnosis hits different: a more aggressive disease course, greater disruptive potential, longer survivorship. Yet most healthcare institutions seem poorly prepared for this growing patient group. A plenary session at the ... |
News • Prediction of treatment response
A multidisciplinary team of pathologists, oncologists and biologists has discovered a new biomarker to determine whether immunotherapy may work in people with colon and rectal cancer. |

News • Endovascular therapy
A clinical trial has shown that post-thrombotic syndrome — a common and often painful complication after deep vein thrombosis — can be effectively treated with a minimally invasive procedure. |
|
News • Transesophageal echocardiography
Researchers conducted the first randomized trial of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)-guided CPR, showing improved blood flow indicators during resuscitation of cardiac arrest patients. |

Video • Endoscopy approach
Researchers have developed a flexible optical fiber that can be threaded through a medical endoscope and steered into the larynx to destroy hard-to-reach tumors on the vocal folds. |
|
News • Deep joint-learning proteomics model
Researchers have developed an AI model showing that it is possible to detect different neurodegenerative diseases - for example, Alzheimer’s and Lewy body disease - from a single blood sample. |
|
News • Biomechanical mapping of tumor growth
Researchers have developed a new MRI-based method that enables objective quantification of the growth of the most aggressive brain tumours, particularly glioblastoma. |
|
News • Immunology
Being overweight can reduce vaccine effectiveness, new research finds. The findings explore differences in immune response, and may lead to more effective vaccines for patients with obesity. |
|
News • Behavioural, lifestyle and psychosocial information
A new study using a “digital twin” AI model has found that factors such as loneliness, insomnia and poor mental health substantially raise a person’s future risk of developing type 2 diabetes. |
