A Rare Case of Skull Base Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumor
🔗 See all case details here: https://t.co/BdQJIZ6d2K
Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare type of tumor that presents as a paraneoplastic syndrome causing tumor-induced osteomalacia. So far, close to 500 cases have been reported in the literature, making it a rare entity in clinical practice. The most common sites of PMT involvement are extremities. Here, we report a rare case of PMT involving the skull base.

Case Study: Craniospinal Irradiation for Leptomeningeal Disease in Recurrent Breast Cancer
🔗 Full details here: https://t.co/YM50eJikKs
LMD is an uncommon complication of breast cancer associated with a poor prognosis. We highlight the challenges of diagnosis and the importance of obtaining an MRI of the entire neuroaxis, cytologic analysis, and correlation with neurological assessment.

Can 3 Gy help osteoarthritis pain?
In this US retrospective series, LDRT 0.5 Gy x 6 improved mean Numeric Rating Scale pain scores from 7.3 to 2.6 at ~12 weeks, with 79% achieving a clinically meaningful ≥2-point reduction.
Low burden.
Noninvasive.
Interesting signal for selected patients with persistent OA pain.

ASCO2026: Asymptomatic brain met EGFR/ALK NSCLC any benefit upfront cranial RT on this Randomized trial?
- Upfront RT ↑↑ brain control, no benefit PFS, OS
- Selection criteria high risk (e.g. larger size) for upfront RT is key

ASCO this year has 5,000+ abstracts.
But maybe 24 will actually change practice. This is that map.
(ERRATA: this plot fixes an error on VICTORIA which reflected incorrect data, thnx @Dr_RShatsky)
Map spans 12 disease areas, 24 critical readouts, 5 plenaries & 2 confirmed misses already on the board.
Few things jump out immediately:
▫️Pancreatic cancer gets the headline.
Daraxonrasib: 13.2 vs 6.7 months.
▫️Sarcoma gets a plenary because public science funded what pharma would not.
▫️Lung cancer remains the most crowded battlefield in oncology:
RET adjuvant, bispecific OS, post-osimertinib, next-gen EGFR.
By next week, some of these cells will become new standards of care.
This is your cheat sheet to keep score in real time.
