Leading today's oncology KOL conversation on X: Epcoritamab Positive in Frontline DLBCL; Hodgkin Data Updated. The KOL Pulse Daily Digest: what verified physician voices are discussing on X across the major tumor types, ranked by engagement over the last 48 hours.
Chadi Nabhan, MD, MBA, FACP · @chadinabhan“These are very important results, while we wait on more data regarding efficacy and safety. The EPCORE-DLBCL-2 trial is positive. Another regimen tops R-CHOP after the POLARIX study. Lots to discuss in the weeks to come.”
View post ↗Full Leukemia & Lymphoma coverage in today's digest →The DeLLphi-305 trial of investigational tarlatamab plus durvalumab as first-line maintenance in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) has shown positive results for overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival via press release, with full data anticipated at an ESMO 2026 Presidential Session. Additionally, discord among specialists on patient selection for neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy in stage III NSCLC is a key topic, alongside updates on investigational agents from trials like HARMONi-6, WU-KONG28, and OptiTROP-Lung05 in advanced NSCLC.

“Countdown to #ESMO26 DeLLphi-305: ES-SCLC ⏰ Saturday Presidential Session 1 💉 1L maintenance Tarlatamab + Durvalumab 🚨 We know from Press Release that this is positive for ORR, PFS & OS 🤔 Likely to be (one) of the standards of care where funded”

“It is my opinion that the discord among specialists taking care of stage III NSCLC has reached unprecedented levels in the history of lung cancer care. This is simply not acceptable, and our patients expect more of us while we keep touting that we provide "MDT care".”

“Dr. @jennifermarksmd presents updates in adv NSCLC at Yellowstone 2026 Best of @ASCO including HARMONi-6, WU-KONG28 and OptiTROP-Lung05. Will be impt to see how these agents perform in global studies and in case of sunvo, would just like ACCESS to drug! Hopefully coming soon!!”

For patient quality of life, a JCO review finds low-dose vaginal estrogen is safe after breast cancer, with observational data showing no increased recurrence or mortality, including in ER+ patients on tamoxifen. Additionally, the AFT-70 NAVIGATE trial design is exploring a risk-adapted strategy in ER+ early breast cancer, using serial MRD monitoring to guide the addition of a CDK4/6 inhibitor to the investigational SERD giredestrant.

“A "normal" mammogram interpreted by AI can accurately forecast high-risk of breast cancer in the next 5 years. Approved by FDA, now becoming available.”

— @PTarantinoMD · ESMO26 preview · View post ↗A study of 10,937 patients with advanced biliary tract cancer found ctDNA NGS was feasible in 90% of cases versus 50% for tissue, with a faster turnaround time (8 vs 27 days). For advanced HCC, the AI-driven CAPTYN model, validated in the phase III IMbrave150 cohort, uses routine blood tests to predict benefit from atezolizumab/bevacizumab. The GI oncology community is also discussing early insights into resistance mechanisms for the investigational agent daraxonrasib in pancreatic cancer.

A study in Nature Medicine on urine cell-free RNA profiling (uRARE-seq) for bladder cancer detection showed 95% sensitivity at 90% specificity, outperforming cytology. New analysis from the PROpel trial in mCRPC found that olaparib plus abiraterone improved rPFS versus abiraterone alone in patients without BRCA mutations. Commentary from Dr. Tanya Dorff on a presentation by Dr. Scott Tagawa noted that for PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy, dose matters and clonal hematopoiesis may help predict toxicity.

“95% sensitivity at 90% specificity for localized BLCA — outperforming cytology and urine tumor DNA. Also predicts response to BCG vs intravesical chemotherapy (AUC 0.93).”

A separate CoMMit publication found that standard-risk, newly diagnosed patients with 12-month sustained MRD negativity who stopped therapy have an approximate 2.5% annual risk of progression. Additionally, a study in Nature Medicine characterized cilta-cel-associated enterocolitis, noting that upadacitinib showed benefit in two patients.

“Among 47 BCMA/GPRC5D-naïve patients treated at the recommended phase II dose: 🔹 93.6% overall response rate 🔹 78.7% achieved complete response or better 🔹 MRD negativity: 95% at 10⁻⁵ (19/20) and 93.3% at 10⁻⁶ (14/15) among evaluable patients 🔹 Estimated 24-month PFS: 81.3%, with median follow-up of 21.8 months”

In Hodgkin lymphoma, updated 4-year survival rates from the phase III S1826 study in untreated advanced-stage disease were presented at ISHL14. The hematology community is also debating the role of allogeneic transplant for patients with TP53-mutated myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), with Dr. Talha Badar arguing for selective use.
