Background: Radical cystectomy has the potential to be a curative strategy for patients with aggressive bladder cancer. Emerging evidence over the last 20 years has shown that minimally invasive surgical approaches using robotics in performing this highly complex and morbid operation can achieve the same oncological outcomes while reducing complications for the patient.
Objective: This paper aims to present a managerial and leadership roadmap for change to robotic cystectomy for patients with advanced bladder cancer to achieve improved patient outcomes while embracing technological developments in the delivery of cancer care.

Introduction: This study evaluates the knowledge of Spanish surgeons regarding data governance and Digital Surgery, their usage, errors, and training deficiencies, as well as differences in knowledge between those who perform robotic surgery and those who do not.
Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using a closed survey promoted by the Minimally Invasive Surgery and Technological Innovation Section of the Spanish Association of Surgeons, directed at its members between February and March 2024.
Results: Out of 1,086 surgeons contacted, 396 responded (36.

This white paper examines the potential of pioneering technologies and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solutions in advancing clinical trials involving radiotherapy. As the field of radiotherapy evolves, the integration of cutting-edge approaches such as radiopharmaceutical dosimetry, FLASH radiotherapy, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and AI promises to improve treatment planning, patient care, and outcomes. Additionally, recent advancements in quantum science, linear energy transfer/relative biological effect (LET/RBE), and the combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy create new avenues for innovation in clinical trials.

The need for effective early detection and optimal therapy monitoring of cardiovascular diseases as the leading cause of death has led to an adaptation of the guidelines with a focus on cardiac computed tomography (CCTA) in patients with a low to intermediate risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). In particular, the introduction of photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) in CT diagnostics promises significant advances through higher temporal and spatial resolution, and also enables advanced texture analysis, known as radiomics analysis. Originally developed in oncological imaging, radiomics analysis is increasingly being used in cardiac imaging and research.

Saudi Arabia is one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters due to its heavy reliance on fossil fuels, has begun taking proactive steps to address climate change under Vision 2030. The initiative aims to reduce the country's GHG emissions. As part of this effort, the government is transitioning to renewable energy (RE) to decrease its dependency on oil and support sustainable environmental development.
