📢Do you know 🎗️ New research highlights a critical gap in care: many people who undergo gender-affirming top surgery may not receive adequate guidance about ongoing breast cancer risk and follow-up care. Inclusive, informed conversations matter. #BreastCancerAwareness #HealthEquity #CancerPrevention

☀️ Summer heat can increase the frequency & intensity of hot flashes, particularly for individuals affected by cancer treatments, menopause, & aging with HIV. Staying hydrated, avoiding common triggers, dressing in layers, & prioritizing sleep can help manage symptoms. #HIVCancer

🚨 “Terminal” cancer is changing. Thanks to #Immunotherapy, some cancers are becoming chronic conditions—reshaping what #CancerSurvivorship means. But what about those living with #HIV AND cancer? This overlap is still under-researched & deeply complex. Let’s push for inclusive survivorship care.

🍁Canada may be on the brink of a historic HIV milestone. A Toronto man could become the first Canadian cured of HIV—the result of decades of research, care, and advocacy. Not a universal cure, but powerful proof that science + sustained investment = progress. #EndHIV #HIVResearch #HealthEquity #AMC

Feeling exhausted during or after cancer treatment? 👉 Rest alone may not be enough. Research shows that gentle movement—like walking—can actually reduce cancer-related fatigue and help restore energy. Small steps. Real impact. #CancerRelatedFatigue #Survivorship #PatientOutcomes #AMCConsortium

💪 Call to action: Exercise during chemotherapy improves quality of life for women with breast cancer. A meta‑analysis of 20+ trials shows patients who exercised during treatment were >60% more likely to report improved quality of life vs standard care. Walks, bike ride, or strength training helps.

Diagnosis, risk stratification and management of smouldering multiple myeloma
Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, Published online: 22 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41571-026-01119-0Increased understanding of the biology of smouldering multiple myeloma (SMM) is being leveraged to improve the management of this clinically heterogeneous precursor of MM. This Review describes the current diagnostic work-up, risk stratification and management of SMM, highlighting early intervention approaches for high-risk SMM that might provide the best opportunity to convert MM into a curative disease and discussing persistent challenges in this field.
