Why Add Celecoxib to Immunotherapy?
The PICC-2 trial explored whether blocking the COX-2/PGE₂ pathway could enhance the activity of PD-1 blockade in dMMR/MSI-H locally advanced colorectal cancer.
By reducing immune suppression within the tumor microenvironment, celecoxib may help T cells eliminate residual cancer more effectively.
Pathological complete response improved from 69% to 89% with the addition of celecoxib.
The combination achieved this benefit without increasing treatment-related toxicity.
A promising strategy that warrants further validation, but adds an intriguing layer to neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

A simple Glance for Oncologists in Clinics
EAU 2026 Prostate Cancer Guidelines are here.
Key updates:
✅ Early salvage RT for BCR
✅ PSMA PET as preferred imaging
✅ ADT alone is no longer enough for most mHSPC patients
✅ Molecular testing guides precision therapy
✅ Triplet therapy for appropriate patients
✅ Prostate RT remains important in low-volume metastatic disease
Personalized, biology-driven treatment is now the standard.

🚨 New @ASCO guideline on breast cancer surveillance after curative treatment
The biggest change: follow-up should be risk-adapted, not one-size-fits-all.
Clinical follow-up
🔹 Low risk: annually
🔹 Intermediate risk: every 6–12 months
🔹 High risk: every 3–6 months
🔹 Virtual visits are acceptable
What should be done
✅ History and physical examination
✅ Surveillance mammography
✅ Prompt evaluation of new symptoms
What should NOT be done routinely in asymptomatic patients
❌ CT or PET-CT
❌ Bone scan
❌ Chest X-ray or liver ultrasound
❌ CBC or chemistry panels
❌ CEA, CA 15-3 or CA 27.29
❌ ctDNA surveillance outside clinical trials
Important de-escalation
For selected low-risk patients aged ≥50 years who remain recurrence-free 3 years after breast-conserving surgery, mammography every 1–2 years may be reasonable instead of annual imaging.
Clinical takeaway
More surveillance does not necessarily improve outcomes.
Follow recurrence risk, symptoms and evidence, not anxiety.
Will this change your follow-up practice?

DENOSUMAB DE-ESCALATION
For years, monthly denosumab has been the standard for patients with bone metastases.
But after initial therapy, do patients really need treatment every 4 weeks indefinitely?
REDUSE 96/12 addressed this question in 1,380 patients with breast cancer or mCRPC and bone metastases.
After 4 initial monthly doses:
• Every 12-week dosing achieved non-inferior skeletal protection • Time to first symptomatic skeletal event: 56.6 vs 56.5 months HR 1.02
Importantly:
• Hypocalcemia decreased from 46% → 30% • Osteonecrosis of the jaw decreased from 8.5% → 6.9%
The message is simple:
Less frequent treatment may preserve efficacy while reducing toxicity and treatment burden.
A potentially practice-changing maintenance strategy for bone metastases.
