🩺 Non-surgery options for early rectal cancer show promise

A large randomized study revealed that almost 80% of early-stage rectal cancer patients avoided surgery for over a year using chemoradiation therapy. This was found in patients across various locations, as reported by researchers led by Simon Bach of University College London. Specifically, 78.5% of those randomized to CRT remained surgery-free at 12 months. This suggests a response-adapted organ-preservation strategy offers better 12-month outcomes with CRT. Longer follow-up is still necessary to fully assess long-term cancer control and safety. 🩺

🧠 Level up your AI with advanced MCP patterns

Most AI demos only show one server connecting to one client, which is kinda basic for real-world use. Connecting multiple servers to a client unlocks serious functionality, like handling expense receipts across different apps. This setup allows AI to provide inline responses in Slack using data from Notion and Zoom transcripts. Remote servers are preferred over local ones because sharing a link is way easier for teams to adopt. Finally, using an mcp-aggregator centralizes configuration, so users only log in once across all tools.

🧐 Family network wins army contracts through rigging

A family-controlled network of four entities allegedly rigged the Union government’s online tendering system for defence contracts.
