Decipher® reclassification of NCCN risk groups in early #ProstateCancer. @danielkeizman joins @zklaassen_md to discuss a Decipher® transcriptomic analysis in a non-American prostate cancer cohort. The study found that Decipher® significantly reclassified a proportion of patients away from their NCCN risk category in this population, where nearly all prior validation data came from American cohorts. #WatchNow on UroToday > bit.ly/3TCcjqA @Decipher_VCYT

A minority of women who undergo rapid genetic testing at #BreastCancer diagnosis experience decision regret, particularly those with positive BRCA1/2 results and those from racialized groups. Follow-up counseling may be warranted.

Physician vs. AI-Generated Messages in #Urology: Evaluation of Accuracy, Completeness, and Preference by Patients and Physicians.
AI-drafted replies to urology patient messages were rated as accurate as urologists' (4.5 vs 4.6) and more complete, and lay reviewers preferred them. #AuthorCommentary on UroToday > bit.ly/47h1rSS @aboutKP @wjurol

Active Surveillance Follow-Up for #ProstateCancer: From Guidelines to Real-World Clinical Practice.
Only 11% of 546 men on active surveillance for prostate cancer were followed per guideline-recommended PSA and biopsy schedules in a real-world cohort. #AuthorCommentary with @ChiarelliGiuse on UroToday > bit.ly/4ynyMXc @DrFAbdollah

Among US #clinicians, use of an #AI-enabled clinical information platform increased substantially over 2.5 years, with sustained use across #physician and nonphysician groups.
Queries most often focused on #treatment and #management rather than #diagnosis, indicating that these tools are being used primarily to support #clinical decision-making at the point of care.

💡 JAMA Insights: #PhysicalActivity is an effective component of care for people with #chronic #medical conditions, and #clinician #communication can help support behavior change.
This JAMA Insights article indicates that supportive conversations should acknowledge common barriers, frame activity as achievable daily movement rather than only structured exercise, and emphasize that any increase in activity can benefit health.

ALT JAMA document titled 'Communicating With Patients About Physical Activity,' published Aug 6, 2026. It features a table with focus points and practical examples for discussing physical activity, covering topics like opening conversation, supportive communication, safe intensity, and behavior changes.

ALT Bar chart comparing detection methods of two groups, Intervention Group (N=3637) and Control Group (N=3400). For the Intervention Group, clinically detected: 2464, MCED-detected: 937, NHS current screening program-detected: 236. For the Control Group, clinically detected: 3110, MCED-detected: 0, NHS current screening program-detected: 290. The colors represent each detection method: green for clinically detected, red for MCED-detected, and yellow for NHS detection.

Important study by @ldiaz1971 @MSKCancerCenter advocating for universal germline testing after a cancer diagnosis. Among ~40,000 patients, 18.4% of early-onset, 15.6% of average-onset, & 12.3% of late-onset cancers harbor pathogenic germline alterations.

Oncologists are now combining PSA screening with MRI and MRI-guided biopsies to locate prostate tumors more precisely. This approach can help physicians select more targeted treatments that limit side effects and preserve patients’ quality of life. news.unchealthcare.org/2026/…

Among patients due for annual #LungCancer screening, stepped reminders to primary care physicians to order and patients to schedule low-dose computed tomography increased guideline-concordant screening adherence vs usual care. ja.ma/4yCsV15

Why do so few patients with advanced cancer join clinical trials? We usually blame the patient barriers: mistrust, travel, cost, eligibility.
Our new paper in @JAMANetworkOpen asks a different question: how much depends on the doctor and the clinic? 🧵

🧵 Among medically underserved adults referred for #LungCancer screening with low-dose computed tomography, adding financial incentives to ask-advise-refer and free smoking cessation pharmacotherapy was associated with higher biochemically confirmed sustained tobacco abstinence through 6 months.
Free pharmacotherapy alone was not superior to ask-advise-refer, and adding a text-based future health tool did not improve outcomes beyond incentives.

A "normal" mammogram interpreted by AI can accurately forecast high-risk of breast cancer in the next 5 years. Approved by FDA, now becoming available. But it should be free and part of every mammogram readout.
