On Feb 3, 2025, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) issued a statement calling on countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to prioritise access to essential cancer medicines. The statement noted that there are more than 4 million new cases of cancer every year in the Americas and over 1·4 million deaths. Patients do not always get the treatment they need, however.

The addition of [177Lu] Lu-PSMA-617 to enzalutamide was associated with improved survival and some aspects of HRQOL in patients with high-risk metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Our findings warrant phase 3 evaluation of adaptive-dosed [177Lu] Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors in people with metastatic prostate cancer.

Consistent with the initial analysis of 3-year disease-free survival, the extended 5-year overall survival analysis from the RESOLVE trial confirmed the survival advantage of perioperative-SOX and adjuvant-SOX compared with the standard adjuvant-CapOx regimen. The SOX regimen, given perioperatively or as an adjuvant treatment, emerges as a potential standard treatment modality for locally advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer management in Asian patients.

In a landmark judgement, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that Italy is not protecting the right to life of 2·9 million people living in the southern provinces of Caserta and Naples.

The affected area, which is made up of 90 municipalities, has become known as the Terra dei Fuochi (Land of Fires).

All investigated ablative methods continue to represent effective treatment choices in renal cell carcinoma, and these findings support multi-disciplinary discussions of these treatment methods, along with surgery and surveillance, to individualise treatment decisions in these patients. Future research should aim to conduct randomised controlled trials across larger patient populations to further elucidate the long-term oncological and survival outcomes associated with these treatments.
