Therapist-Guided e‑Health Cuts Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Colorectal Survivors: A Randomized Trial Shows Clinically Meaningful Benefits

A Danish RCT of TG‑iConquerFear, a 10‑week therapist‑guided online program for colorectal cancer survivors with clinical fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), reduced FCR scores substantially compared with augmented self‑help at 3 months; the between‑group effect was clinically meaningful (Cohen d 0.62).

Stepped Care Plus Cash Incentives Cuts 3‑Year Diabetes Incidence in Multiethnic Asian Prediabetes Cohort

The Pre-DICTED randomized trial found a stepped-care diabetes prevention program augmented with financial incentives reduced 3‑year diabetes conversion (34.8% vs 47.3%; adjusted RR 0.74), with metformin added for persistent high-risk participants and modest increased adverse events largely from GI symptoms.

Evaluating AI-Led vs Human-Led Lifestyle Interventions in Prediabetes: Evidence from a Randomized Clinical Trial of the Diabetes Prevention Program

This review examines the first phase 3 randomized trial demonstrating that an AI-powered Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention is noninferior to human coaching in improving weight loss, HbA1c, and physical activity among adults with prediabetes and overweight or obesity.

Artificial Intelligence in Imaging-Based Extranodal Extension Detection: Advancing Prognostication in HPV-Positive Oropharyngeal Cancer

An AI-driven model accurately detects imaging-based extranodal extension in HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer from CT scans, improving outcome prediction beyond expert radiologist assessments and identifying patients at higher risk of poorer survival and recurrence.
