AIDS 2026 | Dr. Vizcaino: Focus on Harms of Late HIV Diagnosis in Cuba and Explore Efficient Early Diagnosis, Prevention and Control Strategies

The 2026 International AIDS Conference was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where scholars from across the globe engaged in in-depth exchanges on the latest advances in HIV diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control. Dr. Milena Duque Vizcaino from the Pedro Kourí Tropical Medicine Institute in Cuba presented a domestic follow-up study covering 2019 to 2025 at the conference, centering on the critical public health issue linking late HIV diagnosis to mortality risk. Though Cuba has built a comprehensive HIV prevention and control network underpinned by its unique universal free healthcare system, the challenge of delayed diagnosis has not been fully eliminated. Infectious Disease Frontier conducted an exclusive interview with Dr. Vizcaino to discuss core topics including disparities in mortality risk among late-diagnosed patients, key barriers to delayed diagnosis, and optimized screening and intervention pathways. The interview analyzes pain points and practical experience of HIV prevention under a Latin American medical model, offering reference frameworks for low- and middle-income regions worldwide to refine strategies for early HIV screening and treatment.
Professor Shaogang Wang: Technological Innovation Enabling Precision Minimally Invasive Surgery, with Clinical Research Driving the Future of Urology

Professor Shaogang Wang: Technological Innovation Enabling Precision Minimally Invasive Surgery, with Clinical Research Driving the Future of Urology

In recent years, urology has entered an important period of rapid technological iteration and continuous evolution in treatment concepts. From the accelerated development of advanced domestically manufactured medical equipment to the growing integration of robotic-assisted surgery, molecular imaging, and artificial intelligence into clinical practice, urology is moving toward increasingly minimally invasive, precise, and function-preserving approaches. At the same time, high-quality clinical research has become an important foundation for updating treatment standards and strengthening China's academic influence in urology. Oncology Frontier – UroStream invited Professor Shaogang Wang of Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, for an in-depth interview. He shared his perspectives on trends in urological development, the clinical value and technological advances of robotic-assisted surgery, and strategies for conducting high-quality clinical research.
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

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.

First Global Guideline for the Integrated Evaluation of Evidence on the Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Published

Recently, the China Association of Chinese Medicine (CACM) Group Standard, Integrated Evaluation of Evidence on the Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine was officially released in Beijing. As the world’s first guiding standard for the integrated evaluation of evidence on the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the standard was jointly developed under the leadership of Researcher Xiao Xiaohe, Professor Wang Jiabo, Academician Tian Jinzhou, Academician Chen Xiangmei, and Professor Dai Aiguo, with the participation of more than 60 leading experts from 13 universities, research institutes, medical institutions, and pharmaceutical companies across China, including the Chinese PLA General Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and Hunan University of Chinese Medicine.
Pujiang Prostate Cancer Academic Conference | Prof. Fangning Wan: Innovations in Local Therapy, Advances in Systemic Treatment, and Clinical Applications of Cryotherapy for Prostate Cancer

Pujiang Prostate Cancer Academic Conference | Prof. Fangning Wan: Innovations in Local Therapy, Advances in Systemic Treatment, and Clinical Applications of Cryotherapy for Prostate Cancer

The 2026 Pujiang Prostate Cancer Academic Conference was held in Shanghai from June 26–27, 2026. As treatment strategies for prostate cancer continue to evolve, local therapy has progressed beyond conventional radical surgery toward robot-assisted precision surgery with greater emphasis on functional preservation. Meanwhile, focal therapies such as cryoablation and irreversible electroporation (IRE) have emerged as promising treatment options for carefully selected patients.
Advances in ADC Therapy for Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma | Prof. Kaiwei Yang Reviews the Evolving First- and Later-Line Treatment Landscape

Advances in ADC Therapy for Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma | Prof. Kaiwei Yang Reviews the Evolving First- and Later-Line Treatment Landscape

The treatment landscape for advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) has entered a new era. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting Nectin-4, HER2, and Trop-2 have rapidly transformed clinical practice, while ADCs combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors have become the new standard for first-line treatment. At the 2026 CSCO Annual Meeting, Prof. Kaiwei Yang from the Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital presented a comprehensive overview of the current evidence supporting approved and investigational ADCs. Drawing on the latest 2026 CSCO Guidelines, he systematically reviewed first-line treatment strategies, sequencing after disease progression, breakthroughs in domestically developed ADCs, and the next generation of emerging targets, providing valuable insights into individualized treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma.
