Invasive strategy for frail older patients with NSTEMI may do more harm than good

01 May 2026

In the treatment of frail older patients with non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), an invasive strategy does not appear to provide additional benefit compared with a conservative strategy and may even contribute to an increased risk of harm in those at the highest levels of frailty, according to the secondary analysis of the SENIOR-RITA trial.

Transforming resectable NSCLC care with neoadjuvant/ perioperative IO

01 May 2026 by

Immunotherapy (IO) has shifted the management of resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) towards a multimodality approach that deepens treatment response, resulting in meaningful gains in event‑free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). At an industry-sponsored symposium during the 33^rdAnnual Scientific Meeting of the Hong Kong College of Radiologists, experts discussed the evidence supporting standard-of-care (SoC) neoadjuvant and perioperative IO in patients with resectable NSCLC, as well as the crucial role of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) in optimizing treatment outcomes in this population.

Protecting children: A significant new legislative step – applying the Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse Ordinance in practice

01 May 2026 by

A significant new child-protection law came into force in Hong Kong on 20 January 2026 – the Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse Ordinance. Medical practitioners, alongside other healthcare professionals, education and social welfare workers, have been designated ‘mandated reporters’ and must report suspected serious child abuse cases in the course of their work ‘as soon as practicable’. The strengthening of child protection safeguards in Hong Kong has been welcomed,¹and it is hoped that through early detection and intervention, this mandatory reporting regime (MRR) will result in more effective protection for children and act as a deterrent for potential perpetrators.
