In this Review, the authors examine anticipated patterns of late morbidities that could emerge as a result of current treatments for Wilms tumour. Given the importance of a patient-centred follow-up strategy, they propose a practical classification system based on the likelihood of developing therapy-related late sequelae.

Artificial intelligence (AI) excels at rapid data synthesis and pattern recognition, yet the practice of oncology demands nuanced clinical judgement, ethical reasoning and authentic empathy — qualities only humans can provide. The future of cancer care lies in synergy: AI augmenting human expertise, not replacing it. Excellence emerges when computational power meets clinical wisdom.

Recent extreme weather events have impacted communities once considered safe from climate hazards, posing growing challenges to cancer control efforts. Here, Nogueira and Salas argue that the oncology community urgently needs to prioritize solution-focused adaptation and mitigation actions.
