Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Jianping Zhang: High CD34⁺ Cell Dose Significantly Reduces EBV Reactivation and Improves Survival in Pediatric Aplastic Anemia Patients Undergoing UCBT

Pediatric aplastic anemia (AA) patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) face outcomes that are closely tied to the infused cell dose. While recommended CD34⁺ cell doses have been established for hematologic malignancies, no clear standard exists for AA, leaving an important gap in clinical decision-making.

Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Peihua Lu / Prof. Yanli Zhao: Long-Term Outcomes of HSCT in Elderly Patients with Hematologic Malignancies—A Single-Center Comparison of Haploidentical, Matched Sibling, and Matched Unrelated Donors

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies remains associated with substantial treatment-related risks. Choosing among haploidentical, matched sibling, and matched unrelated donors remains challenging due to the lack of robust head-to-head comparative data.

Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Xingyu Cao & Bixin Li: Efficacy and Safety of PD-1 Inhibitors in Acute Leukemia Patients with MRD Positivity After Allogeneic HSCT

Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Xingyu Cao & Bixin Li: Efficacy and Safety of PD-1 Inhibitors in Acute Leukemia Patients with MRD Positivity After Allogeneic HSCT

Relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains one of the central challenges in the treatment of acute leukemia. Minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity serves as an important early warning signal for relapse, and identifying effective interventions during this critical window has become a major focus of clinical research.

ASCO GU On-site Report | Prof. Anna Wilkins: AI Pathology Model MMAI Breaks the Bottleneck in Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification, Unlocking a New Era of Personalized Genitourinary Oncology

During the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU), a major breakthrough drew global attention: the first international external validation of the digital pathology–based AI predictive model MMAI in localized prostate cancer. Oncology Frontier – UroStream conducted an on-site interview with Prof. Anna Wilkins, Honorary Consultant in Clinical Oncology at The Institute of Cancer Research and The Royal Marsden Hospital (UK), who provided an in-depth interpretation of the study’s clinical value, real-world implementation prospects, and the broader advances highlighted at this year’s congress.
