The future of personalised risk-stratified breast cancer screening
Will widespread screening for breast cancer based on individual risk mean the end of the one-size-fits-all standard mammogram?

Gene-expression assays have produced a huge step forward in identifying patients who are likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy but there is still a long way to go in the more specific targeting of treatment
Much progress has been made in the standardisation of pathological response but optimising viable tumour cutoffs for predicting long-term outcome after different treatment modalities and by histological type remain key areas for investigation
Advances made in the treatment of advanced lung cancer are now being introduced at earlier stages of disease
The length of immunotherapy course for metastatic lung cancer was arbitrarily set at 2 years in clinical trials, but definitive studies investigating the optimum duration against the risk-benefit profile are lacking
Vaccination among cancer patients should not affect their participation in clinical trials and levels of acceptance of the vaccine are high
Over the last decade, much progress has been made in developing a range of antibody–drug conjugates to treat breast cancer, with the construction of bespoke agents for individual patients and exciting prospect for the future
Despite age-specific difficulties, increased understanding of sarcoma biology is leading the way to the development of new treatment strategies
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is on course to become standard treatment for selected high-risk soft tissue sarcomas but effects in low-risk disease are unclear
The future is in the hands of tools built on combinations of biomarkers as no single biomarker is likely to reflect the complexity of the tumour microenvironment or account for tumour evolution
