Study Compares Robotic-Assisted to Augmented Reality Spine Surgery – Both Enable High Degree of Precision and Accuracy

December 6 2024 – A study at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) comparing robotic-assisted navigation (RAN) to the use of augmented reality (AR) in spine surgery found that both techniques demonstrate excellent accuracy and safety for pedicle screw placement. The research was published online ahead of print in the journal Spine.

Many spinal surgeries require the use of implants called pedicle screws to stabilize the spine, and precise positioning is critical for a successful surgery. “Compared to conventional free-hand techniques, both robotic-assisted navigation and the use of augmented reality have demonstrated superior accuracy,” said Darren R. Lebl, MD, MBA, a spine surgeon and director of research at HSS, and principal investigator of the study. “Our study is the first to directly compare RAN to AR with respect to screw placement precision.”

Single mutation in H5N1 influenza surface protein could enable easier human infection

H5N1 avian influenza particles (rod-shaped; orange)NIAID and CDC

NIH-funded study finds risk of human infection continues to remain low.

December 6, 2024 – A single modification in the protein found on the surface of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 influenza virus currently circulating in U.S. dairy cows could allow for easier transmission among humans, according to new research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and published today in the journal Science. The study results reinforce the need for continued, vigilant surveillance and monitoring of HPAI H5N1 for potential genetic changes that could make the virus more transmissible in humans.

Abnormal prenatal blood test results could indicate hidden maternal cancers

NIH study finds some abnormal results due to colorectal, breast, lung and pancreatic cancers.

December 4, 2024 – Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found previously undetected cancers in 48.6% of pregnant people who had abnormal results for prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing used to screen for chromosomal disorders in the fetus. Cancers included colorectal, breast, lung and pancreatic cancers, as well as lymphoma, cholangiocarcinoma and renal carcinoma.

In five cancer types, prevention and screening have been major contributors to saving lives

From 1975 to 2020, prevention and screening efforts averted 4.75 million deaths from five cancer types: breast, cervical colorectal, lung prostate. NCI

NIH modeling study looked at the individual and combined impacts of cancer prevention, screening, and treatment.

December 5 2024 – Improvements in cancer prevention and screening have averted more deaths from five cancer types combined over the past 45 years than treatment advances, according to a modeling study led by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The study, published Dec. 5, 2024, in JAMA Oncology, looked at deaths from breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer that were averted by the combination of prevention, screening, and treatment advances. The researchers focused on these five cancers because they are among the most common causes of cancer deaths and strategies exist for their prevention, early detection, and/or treatment. In recent years, these five cancers have made up nearly half of all new cancer diagnoses and deaths.

Miami Cancer Institute to Present Latest Research at 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

December 4, 2025 – Researchers from Miami Cancer Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida, will present 11 posters and moderate one general session at this year’s San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), hosted December 10-13, 2024, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. Miami Cancer Institute researchers will present the latest advances in HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, metaplastic breast cancer, as well as chemotherapy in elderly breast cancer patients, among others.

“I am very pleased with the quality of the research that my colleagues and I will be discussing at this year’s San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. We will be highlighting an ongoing prospective trial we are leading, which is one of the first trials that will hopefully shed some light on the important area of sequencing antibody drug conjugates in metastatic breast cancer,” said Reshma L. Mahtani, D.O., chief of breast medical oncology at Miami Cancer Institute. “Additionally, we will be presenting on a subgroup analysis of genomic results from a larger multicenter cohort study of HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, a retrospective analysis of the association between body composition measures and relative dose intensity of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly breast cancer patients, and a retrospective U.S. electronic health records study on HER2+-early breast cancer treatment and outcomes by risk of recurrence, among numerous others. These advances, together with many others shared at the symposium, are a true source of hope for patients affected by breast cancer in the U.S. and across the globe.”
