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.

Small Molecules VS CAR-T In CLL
By the time CAR-T arrived in CLL, the disease had already been transformed by BTK inhibitors and venetoclax. TRANSCEND CLL 004 showed 18% CR in BTKi/venetoclax-refractory disease. Sarah Mitchell and James Carter explore why CLL is harder for CAR-T, where it still has a role - especially in Richter's transformation - and why timing of T cell collection matters.

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.
