📅 PUBMED DAILY TRIAGE — 2026-06-13 (Saturday)

Window: 2026-06-12T09:00Z → 2026-06-13T09:00Z (CRDT) Topics scanned: 10 | Articles reviewed: ~75 candidates | Formally classified: 35 High priority: 3 | Standard: 31 | Low/archive: 1 | Unsolicited finds: 0 Run status: ✅ SUCCESS

Notable: Strong rebound from yesterday's zero-HIGH run (Friday). 3 HIGH-priority articles today including a Nat Cancer CPTAC AML flagship. 6 of 9 deferred articles from 2026-06-12 cleared (2 still deferred: 42274988, 42274032).


🔴🟠 HIGH PRIORITY (8+) — Best Finds by Topic

Hematologic Malignancies

TR-2026-06-13-001 / PMID 42286338 · Integrated proteogenomic and metabolomic profiling of AML to identify molecular subtypes and therapy targets · 9/10 · Nature Cancer CPTAC flagship study across 13 omics modalities in 173 treatment-naive AML patients — defines new subtype architecture and validates MTA1 as a panobinostat resistance driver via ML, with direct implications for precision AML therapy selection.

Early Cancer Detection / Liquid Biopsy (Deferred 2026-06-12)

TR-2026-06-13-002 / PMID 42274209 · A Neural Network-Enabled, Enzymatic cfDNA Methylation Assay for Colorectal Cancer Early Detection · 8/10 · Cancer Prev Res; Weill Cornell; non-NGS cfDNA methylation assay (40 CpGs + neural network) achieves 92.3% sensitivity and 100% early-stage sensitivity at 97.4% specificity in 216 plasma samples — potentially scalable CRC population screening tool.

Novel Therapeutics / Liquid Biopsy

TR-2026-06-13-003 / PMID 42285994 · Cadonilimab + chemotherapy in PD-L1-negative advanced NSCLC: phase II · 8/10 · Nature Commun; Phase II (n=50); PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody + platinum doublet achieves ORR 66%, DCR 100%, median OS NR in PD-L1-negative NSCLC (a major immunotherapy-excluded subgroup); cfDNA methylation biomarker predicts response 5 cycles before imaging.
