ctDNA Predicts Relapse in Early Cancer, but Clinical Action Remains Unclear
Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) detection post-surgery predicts relapse in early-stage cancer, but evidence for adjuvant therapy escalation based solely on ctDNA is lacking.

PROTEUS Trial: Neoadjuvant Apalutamide Plus ADT in High-Risk Prostate Cancer
The PROTEUS trial investigated neoadjuvant apalutamide plus ADT for high-risk localised prostate cancer, showing improved pathologic complete response rates.

CAR-T Therapy Versus Bispecific Antibodies
The next phase of CAR-T addresses its biggest limitations: off-the-shelf allogeneic products, in vivo gene delivery, and bispecific antibodies that redirect T cells without any gene engineering. Sarah Mitchell and James Carter explore where the technology is going - and what blood cancer management looks like by 2030.

Zurich Heart Surgery Scandal: Device Safety Alert Issued
A safety alert has been issued regarding cardiac devices used in Zurich, prompting concerns about patient outcomes and regulatory oversight.

Serum Potassium Concentrations Shape Heart Failure Risk
Optimal serum potassium concentrations in heart failure (HF) are unclear, with new data clarifying the safe range for HFrEF and HFpEF.

Managing Acute Heart Failure And Cardiogenic Shock
Acute decompensated heart failure drives over one million hospital admissions annually. 30-day readmission rates are 25%. When the heart cannot compensate, the tools change entirely - IV diuretics, inotropes, mechanical circulatory support. Sarah Mitchell and James Carter cover ADHF management, cardiogenic shock, and how to prevent the revolving door.

Preventing 45 Percent Of Dementia Cases
The Lancet Commission 2024 estimates 45% of dementia is preventable. SPRINT-MIND showed 19% MCI reduction from intensive blood pressure control. FINGER showed 25% better cognitive scores with multi-domain lifestyle intervention. ACHIEVE showed 48% slowing in high-risk patients with hearing aids. The evidence is here — we walk through it.

Targeting Tau Inflammation And Alzheimer's Metabolism
Amyloid clearance is only one part of the Alzheimer's story. Why tau remains the closer correlate of cognitive decline, what the TREM2 biology tells us about microglia, what the GLP-1 signal means, and how platform trials are moving toward multi-target combination therapy.

Why New Alzheimer's Drugs Make Brains Bleed?
ARIA — amyloid-related imaging abnormalities — affects up to 24% of patients on anti-amyloid therapy. APOE4 genotyping, MRI monitoring protocols, severity-graded management, and the anticoagulation dilemma: a practical guide to navigating the risk.
