8.1
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy vs Moderately Hypofractionated IMRT for Localized Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Overall: A strong multicenter randomized trial supports five-fraction SBRT as a convenient option with meaningful quality-of-life advantages, but it does not establish superior disease control.
2.
7.9
Talquetamab-Daratumumab in Relapsed or Refractory Myeloma.
Overall: A large randomized phase 3 trial found substantial progression-free and overall-survival advantages for talquetamab combinations, balanced against frequent serious toxicity and the practical burden of specialty-administered multidrug therapy.
3.
7.8
Switching to camizestrant at ESR1 mutation emergence before disease progression during first-line treatment of hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer (SERENA-6): extended analysis of a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, phase 3 trial.
Overall: A rigorous randomized trial shows a substantial and sustained delay in progression from ctDNA-guided early switching, with manageable but increased hematologic toxicity and meaningful implementation demands.
4.
7.5
Selpercatinib in Early-Stage
Overall: A small but rigorous phase 3 trial found a large event-free survival benefit in early-stage RET-driven NSCLC, offset by frequent serious liver-enzyme elevations and absent mature overall-survival data.
5.
7.3
Reduced/No Dexamethasone With Netupitant/Palonosetron and Olanzapine for Chemotherapy‑Induced Nausea/Vomiting in Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy: Phase III Noninferiority Trial.
Overall: This multicenter randomized trial supports a readily implementable steroid-sparing antiemetic strategy with preserved control of emesis, but incomplete dexamethasone-free and safety results limit certainty about its full net benefit.
6.
7.1
Structured Exercise Program After Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Colon Cancer: A Cost-Utility Analysis of the CHALLENGE Trial.
Overall: A strong trial-based economic evaluation suggests that structured exercise modestly improves patient-important outcomes while reducing costs, but uncertainty, intervention burden, and limited transferability of Canadian costs temper its immediate US impact.
7.
7.1
Quality of life outcomes after sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer: Results from the prospective multicentre SENTIX study.
Overall: Quality of life outcomes after sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer provides clinically meaningful evidence of lower morbidity with SLNB, though nonrandomized group assignment and incompletely reported precision reduce confidence.
8.
7.1
Chemoradiotherapy versus short-course radiotherapy for response-adapted organ preservation in early-stage and intermediate-stage rectal cancer (STAR-TREC): 12-month results of an international, multicentre, open-label, parallel-group, randomised, phase 2/3 trial.
Overall: This randomized multicentre trial shows a substantial early organ-preservation advantage for LCCRT, but definitive functional and oncological outcomes require longer follow-up.
9.
7.1
Perioperative Apalutamide in High-Risk Localized Prostate Cancer.
Overall: This rigorous, large randomized trial demonstrates a modest metastasis-free survival benefit that may influence perioperative care, but increased serious toxicity and treatment burden temper the net clinical advantage.
10.
7.1
Tailored Exercise Strategies and Mortality Among Breast Cancer Survivors.
Overall: Tailored aerobic exercise was associated with meaningful long-term mortality reductions among US breast cancer survivors, but residual confounding, intervention burden, and absent harm reporting temper confidence and immediate practice-changing impact.
