My Wall Street Journal @WSJopinion piece on Miami "Getting Richer-and Smaller" - @WSJ Miami isn't shrinking — it's evolving the way New York once did: a global core in Miami-Dade, with Broward and Palm Beach powering the region's growth. (I missed the paper version as we were in Chicago for @ASCO #ASCO26) @SylvesterCancer @univmiami @UMiamiHealth

One of the big stories from #ASCO26 still making waves: GLP-1 drugs & #lungcancer, drawing headlines like this one. Really interesting, but early & easy to over-read. The finding is about slower progression in people already diagnosed with lung cancer who were also being treated for diabetes. It is not evidence these drugs prevent lung cancer, & it does not mean they treat it. The study was observational, so it cannot show cause. #LCSM lungcancereuropenews.eu/news…

🫁 In PD-L1-negative advanced NSCLC, the choice of first-line immunotherapy combination may matter. A multicenter retrospective cohort study published in Lung Cancer compared two widely used first-line regimens in advanced NSCLC without actionable driver mutations: ➡️ Nivolumab ipilimumab chemotherapy ➡️ Pembrolizumab chemotherapy The analysis included 457 patients treated across 13 institutions in Japan. Patients were stratified by PD-L1 tumor proportion score: 📌 PD-L1 TPS <1% 📌 PD-L1 TPS ≥1% The strongest signal came from the PD-L1-Negative Advanced NSCLC cohort. With follow-up exceeding 40 months, nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemotherapy showed longer overall survival than pembrolizumab with chemotherapy: 📌 Median OS: 47.4 vs 16.6 months 📌 Adjusted HR: 0.50 📌 36-month OS rate: 51.5% vs 28.2% In patients with PD-L1 TPS ≥1%, survival outcomes were similar between the two regimens. Safety was broadly comparable, although severe skin toxicity and adrenal-pituitary disorders were more frequent with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. The takeaway: For PD-L1-Negative Advanced NSCLC, dual checkpoint blockade plus chemotherapy may provide a sustained long-term survival advantage — but prospective validation is still needed.

Honoured to publish an editorial in JCO GO accompanying a randomized trial on CRC survivorship in North Africa. Key message: Exercise is not adjunct—it is treatment. scalable interventions like physical activity may be among the most powerful tools to improve outcomes.

Technically MTAP loss and the resulting therapeutic vulnerability created is an example of “collateral lethality”. statnews.com/2026/06/11/synt… A term first proposed by @RonDePinho nature.com/articles/nature21… However there may be an element of synthetic lethality here as well…(1/2)
