Study (post-hoc analysis of a phase 3 RCT). Einspieler, Marcus Hacker and Medical University of Vienna colleagues report in The Lancet Medical Imaging & Theranostics on 194 patients with suspected prostate cancer. PSMA-PET/CT detected 70 of 77 tissue-confirmed clinically significant cancers (91%); a normal scan had a 91% negative predictive value. Over a median 35 months, 23 of 24 men who later had an aggressive course had already been identified on the scan. Diagnostic imaging research, not a screening mandate and not a lifestyle protocol. Educational notes, not a diagnosis or treatment plan.

Researchers found that blocking IL1RAP could disrupt a powerful inflammatory network that helps pancreatic cancer survive treatment. In preclinical experiments, the approach reduced tumor-protecting cells and fibrosis while boosting the activity of cancer-fighting T cells. That could make chemotherapy and immunotherapy more effective.
