Professor Liangyou Gu: From Evidence-Based Breakthroughs to Precision Stratification — Exploring New Pathways for Adjuvant Therapy After Kidney Cancer Surgery

Professor Liangyou Gu: From Evidence-Based Breakthroughs to Precision Stratification — Exploring New Pathways for Adjuvant Therapy After Kidney Cancer Surgery

For patients with kidney cancer who undergo radical surgery, reducing the risk of postoperative recurrence, prolonging disease-free survival, and ultimately improving overall survival have long remained key clinical priorities. In recent years, postoperative adjuvant therapy for kidney cancer has evolved from investigations of targeted therapies to breakthroughs with immunotherapy and, more recently, combinations of immunotherapy with novel targeted agents. However, because adjuvant therapy is administered to patients with no radiographically evident disease, accurately identifying microscopic residual disease, selecting patients most likely to benefit, and balancing efficacy against toxicity remain major challenges in clinical practice. Oncology Frontier · UroStream invited Professor Liangyou Gu of the Chinese PLA General Hospital for an in-depth interview to discuss major advances in postoperative adjuvant therapy for kidney cancer, strategies for identifying patients most likely to benefit, and future directions in the field.

Prof. Liang Huang: From “One-Size-Fits-All” to “Tailored Treatment” — De-escalation and Advancement in Individualized Surgical Management of Breast Cancer | 2026 Lingnan Breast Cancer Academic Forum

Breast cancer surgery is undergoing a profound transformation, shifting from “maximum tolerable surgery” toward “minimum effective treatment.” How to precisely “do less” while maintaining oncologic efficacy, and how to redefine the role of surgery throughout the disease course, have become major topics of clinical discussion. Recently, at the 2026 Lingnan Breast Cancer Academic Forum, Oncology Frontier interviewed Prof. Liang Huang of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. Drawing on his extensive clinical experience, Prof. Huang shared his insights into individualized surgical decision-making, the evidence supporting axillary de-escalation strategies, and the transformation of surgeons into “whole-course disease managers,” offering practical perspectives on balancing established principles with innovation in breast cancer surgery in the era of precision medicine.
