Ferronova announces preliminary results of MAGMAP, a 62-patient gastric and oesophageal cancer trial investigating lymph node mapping

KYOTO, Japan, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Australian medical technology company Ferronova has announced preliminary findings from the MAGMAP multi-centre trial involving 62 gastric and oesophageal patients evaluating the safety and feasibility of a new nanoparticle-based platform to assist clinicians in identifying lymph nodes draining a primary cancer (sentinel nodes). The findings were presented today by principal investigator Dr Markus Trochsler at the 22nd ISDE World Congress for Esophageal Diseases held in Kyoto, Japan.

The lead study site was Royal Adelaide Hospital with participating hospitals and research organisations including the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Austin Hospital, the Olivia Newton John Cancer Research Institute, Flinders Medical Centre, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute Clinical & Research Imaging Centre.

Key findings

- FerroTrace® was administered to 62 patients with no toxicity related adverse events.

- In 24 patients considered potentially suitable for a de-escalated surgical approach, 18 had pre-operative chemotherapy (75%). Sentinel nodes were identified in 23 of these patients (identification rate of 96%), no false negatives were observed among the seven node-positive patients evaluated (FNR=0%), and the patient level negative predictive value of sentinel node pathology was 100% (n=16).

- In 26 patients with gastric-oesophageal junction or distal oesophageal cancers 10 were node positive. The FerroTrace sentinel node drainage direction corresponded to the positive node direction in all 10 patients. Of 19 patients with Siewert Type I or II cancers, seven had drainage confirmed to the gastric lymphatic basin, highlighting the potential for lymphatic mapping to inform less extensive surgery in selected patients.

- Overall, 68% of patients had at least one identified sentinel lymph node outside the tissue removed using standard of care surgery.

Dr Trochsler said using radioisotopes and dyes for identification of lymph nodes draining a primary tumour is already a standard of care in breast cancer and melanoma and is highly effective. However, efforts to translate this technology to gastric and oesophageal cancer patients, who typically undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy before surgery, have been unsuccessful to date.

"To our knowledge, this study was the first where a marker was injected prior to pre-surgical chemotherapy or radiotherapy and shown to persist and be detectable at the time of surgery. The preliminary results are extremely promising.

"The absence of false-negatives and the high negative predictive value observed in this preliminary cohort of patients with earlier-stage disease are encouraging and suggest the potential to minimise surgery in selected patients. Future research will build on these findings by investigating a larger patient cohort. We hope this ongoing work will identify new opportunities to individually tailor treatment approaches."

Mr Geoff Parnell, GI cancer survivor, patient advocate, and Chair of GI Cancer Trials (Australia), said new developments to improve the patient experience were vital.

"Those with lived experience know the journey of a patient with oesophageal or stomach cancer isn't pretty," Mr Parnell said.

"I was lucky to have found the cancer very early and purely by accident, but the surgery and long recovery was tough.

"This new study sponsored by Ferronova will help us investigate approaches that improve quality of life for patients without compromising long-term survival, while ideally also improving overall outcomes. This is particularly important because the outlook for patients with gastric and oesophageal cancers remains relatively poor."

Ferronova's CEO Mr Stewart Bartlett and the clinical team will be at the Kyoto conference until Friday 18th September at booth number 7.

RAVEN2 OPENS FRESH START SERVER "ZERO" WITH "LEGENDARY FESTIVAL" REWARDS

First Fresh Start Server ZERO Eases Growth and Competition Barriers, While Existing Servers Receive "Legendary Festival" Rewards

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has launched a major update for its dark fantasy MMORPG RAVEN2, opening the game's first fresh start server "ZERO," alongside "Legendary Festival" for existing servers.

ZERO opened on September 15 (UTC +0) as a specialized server with a different ruleset from existing servers. Built for new and returning players, ZERO eases growth burdens, monetization pressure, PK stress, and competition barriers through increased equipment drop rates and EXP gains, adjusted combat balance, and a simplified progression structure that excludes Mythic-grade Summons and Awakenings. A key feature is Farming Crystals, which allows players to obtain Crystals, a core in-game currency, through hunting and gameplay.

Certain fields are peace zones where PK is disabled, while field bosses in these zones allow broader participation, guild crafting materials, and high-grade equipment crafting. ZERO currently lets players experience Abyss 1F and the Sinerim region, with future content to follow sequentially.

ZERO-exclusive events offer 550 Summon Scrolls, Legendary Holy Garment and Familiar, weekly chances to obtain Heroic Holy Garment or Familiar during the first month after launch, and level milestone chests. The ZERO Special Corps Member Growth Event provides Heroic equipment and skill books, while the [ZERO] Special Starter Package, containing Heroic Holy Garment (1) Summon Scroll, Heroic Familiar (1) Summon Scroll and more, is available to all players upon login.

For existing servers, "Legendary Festival" offers Legendary Holy Garment and Familiar, 330 Summon Scrolls, Abyss-related benefits, and the upgraded Elite Special Corps Member Growth Event with high-grade equipment and more. Running through October 7, the event dungeon "Full Moon Forest" will be available across both existing servers and ZERO, offering generous rewards to participants.

An official sequel to Raven (EvilBane: The Iron King), RAVEN2 is a blockbuster MMORPG set in a dark fantasy realm reimagined with unrivaled graphics. As a member of the Special Corps, players will embark on a journey to investigate dangerous and bizarre incidents under royal order, and engage in a large-scale, cruel war.

New Oxford Economics Study: Plastic Production Cap Would Raise Cost of Goods

Targeted recycling policies would deliver 68% greater recycling gains than a 5% virgin plastic production cap while supporting affordability by minimizing impacts on household welfare

BRUSSELS, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Focusing waste collection and recycling policies where they can reduce the most mismanaged waste could achieve the same reduction in plastic leakage as a global cap on virgin plastics production, but at substantially lower economic costs and significantly more plastics recycling, according to a new Oxford Economics study commissioned by the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA).

Evaluating Policy Pathways to End Plastic Pollution is the second phase of Oxford Economics' analysis for ICCA. It builds on the 2024 study, Mapping the Plastics Value Chain, which documented the plastics industry's global economic footprint and examined the potential consequences of constraining production.

The report's main comparison is between a scenario with a modest 5% cap on virgin plastics production (Scenario 1) and a scenario that targets stronger collection and recycling incentives to regions with the greatest potential to reduce mismanaged plastic waste (Scenario 2a).

Oxford Economics used the modeled leakage outcome under a 5% production cap as a common benchmark to calibrate the remaining scenarios. This allowed the study to compare each scenario's effects on recycling, prices, output and welfare on equal terms.

Compared with the 5% production cap scenario, targeted collection and recycling policies and incentives would deliver:

- More recycling: a 33.6 million metric ton increase, compared with 19.9 million metric tons under the cap, yielding approximately 68% more recycled plastic.

- Stable plastic prices: a 0.2% decline in total plastic prices (combining virgin and recycled plastic prices), compared with an 8.5% increase under the cap, which has the potential to raise costs on consumers, disproportionately impacting low-income households.

- Far less harm to consumers: a $0.5 billion decline in global household welfare, a measure of the real value of goods and services consumed by households, compared with a $128.4 billion decline under the cap.

- Stronger economic performance: a $0.2 billion increase in global output, compared with a $20.2 billion decline under the cap.

These effects would be felt around the world, though their scale would vary significantly by region. Under the production cap scenario, household welfare would decline by $38.5 billion in East Asia, $37.7 billion in Western Europe, $22.1 billion in North America, $8.8 billion in Southeast Asia, $6.1 billion in the Middle East and $6.0 billion in Latin America. Every region modeled would experience a decline in household welfare.

"Plastics are deeply embedded in products and supply chains, and other materials cannot readily replace them in many applications," said Alice Gambarin, one of the report's authors and associate director at Oxford Economics. "That makes demand for plastics relatively inelastic. When virgin supply is capped, demand does not simply disappear or shift to other materials. Instead, prices rise across the plastics value chain, increasing costs for businesses and consumers and lowering household welfare."

In contrast, targeting recycling incentives according to each region's potential to reduce mismanaged waste would achieve the same global leakage reduction at far lower economic cost. In that scenario, recycling could increase by 20.5 million metric tons in South Asia and 13.7 million metric tons in East Asia, the two regions where the model identified the greatest absolute opportunity for improvement.

"This study shows that environmental ambition and economic well-being do not have to be in conflict," said Marco Mensink, ICCA council secretary and director general of Cefic. "The global plastics pollution agreement is an opportunity to boost a circular economy worldwide by expanding plastic recycling and reuse, while tackling plastic waste pollution by prioritizing solid waste collection for the 2.7 billion people worldwide who still lack access."

The findings reinforce the need for a global agreement that mobilizes finance, builds capacity, and enables governments to focus resources to tackle plastic waste leakage most effectively in their communities.

Oxford Economics conducted the analysis independently, and the conclusions reflect its views.

Advisors can earn up to $250 per qualifying booking and choose how they plan and book with Travel Answers.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- There is still time to turn 2026 travel inquiries into bookings, and Travel Answers is giving Travel Advisors an added incentive to make it happen.

With more than one-third of current inquiries for travel in 2026, Travel Answers is seeing continued demand for last-minute getaways, holiday travel and cruise extensions.

To help Advisors capture that business, the tour operator has launched BOOK26, a limited-time incentive rewarding Advisors with up to $250 in gift cards for qualifying new bookings made by October 31, 2026, for travel commencing by December 31, 2026.

Advisors can earn $50, $100 or $250 per qualifying booking, based on the value of the reservation.

"BOOK26 is about helping Advisors capture the business that is still out there for 2026 and rewarding them for it," said Kirk Demeter, Founder and CEO of Travel Answers. "Clients may be thinking about a last-minute getaway, a family trip over the holidays or adding a few days to a cruise. We can help Advisors turn those ideas into a trip and get their clients traveling this year."

More Ways to Travel

For Advisors who may know Travel Answers primarily for its roots in Australia and New Zealand, the company has grown considerably since it was founded as Down Under Answers in 1992.

Today, Travel Answers offers vacations across Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Asia, Africa and Europe, with four core product types designed around the different ways clients want to travel:

- Custom FIT vacations tailored around the client's interests, pace and budget

- Small group, fixed departures for clients who prefer a planned itinerary

- Pre- and post-cruise vacations that extend the client's experience beyond the cruise

- Custom groups for families, friends, special interests and private groups

For Advisors, that means more opportunities to match the right trip to the right client, whether they are planning a straightforward getaway or a complex, multi-stop itinerary.

Destination Expertise. Online Flexibility. Book Your Way.

Travel Answers also gives Advisors a choice in how they plan and book.

At the heart of Travel Answers are its Destination Specialists, who bring firsthand knowledge and destination expertise to the planning process. They can help Advisors choose the right destinations and experiences, develop itinerary ideas and plan more complex, customized vacations.

For Advisors who prefer to take the lead, the Travel Answers Online Booking Platform provides the flexibility to research, build, quote and book online. Advisors can access live availability, build multi-destination itineraries and create client-ready proposals, giving them the freedom to work on a booking when it works for them.

"Sometimes an Advisor wants to pick up the phone and talk through an itinerary with someone who knows the destination inside and out. Other times, they know exactly what their client wants and just need the tools to get it quoted and booked quickly," Demeter said. "We want to make both easy."

35 Years of Making Travel Easy

As Travel Answers approaches its 35th anniversary in 2027, the company remains founder-led and focused on the Travel Advisor community, while continuing to expand its destinations, products and booking tools.

"We have 35 years of relationships, destination knowledge and experience behind us, but we're continuing to evolve," Demeter added. "For Advisors, that means more destinations to sell, more types of trip to offer and more flexibility in how they work with us."

BOOK26 is available on qualifying new bookings made through October 31, 2026, for travel commencing by December 31, 2026. Terms and conditions apply.

About Travel Answers

Founded in 1992, Travel Answers has been Making Travel Easy for Travel Advisors for nearly 35 years. The company offers custom FIT vacations, small group and fixed departures, pre- and post-cruise vacations, and custom groups across Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Asia, Africa and Europe.

Note Air6 C - All-in-One E Ink Notebook

The 10.3-inch Note Air6 C is an all-in-one color E Ink notebook that bridges reading, note-taking, and creating without the distraction of jumping between screens. The new V4.3 firmware introduces Dual Notes for annotating two documents side by side, an enhanced Calendar Memo with new brush types and a Lasso tool, and Talk Insights, an AI-powered meeting and audio insights feature. An upgraded CPU powers real-time voice transcription, AI document summary, and OCR scanning, while BSR high-refresh technology delivers up to 40 percent faster page turns. Android 16 brings a tablet-style UI with widgets, a dock, and seamless app switching.

The Note Air6 C pairs its 10.3-inch Kaleido 3 color display (4096 colors, anti-glare) with an upgraded writing film and the included BOOX Pen3 stylus for a smoother pen-on-paper feel. The stylus offers 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and a replaceable-nib compartment in the pen body. An integrated keyboard folio connects via pogo pins and can even charge the device through the keyboard's own USB-C port. At 5.8mm thin and roughly 430g, it arrives in a new purple-tinted black finish with a magnetic folio case in two colors, Umber and Graphite.

The Note Air6 C is equipped with:

- 10.3" Kaleido 3 color E Ink screen - 4096 colors, 300 ppi B/W, dual-tone front light

- Octa-core processor (4nm), 6GB RAM, 64GB storage, microSD expansion up to 2TB

- BOOX Pen3 stylus (4096 pressure levels, replaceable-nib storage) and keyboard folio with pogo-pin connection

- 3700mAh battery, fingerprint-enabled power button, dual speakers

Note Mini C - Ultra-Portable Productivity

The Note Mini C brings a compact 8.52-inch format to the Note family, balancing portability with functionality. It is built for people who work in transit: students, journalists, consultants, and business travelers who need complex, color-coded documents to stay readable in an airport lounge, a client office, or a crowded train.

The Kaleido 3 color display sits under flat cover-lens glass and renders paper-book-like color that is sharp and clear for detailed charts. With 6GB of RAM and Google Play access to enterprise apps like Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Slack, and OneDrive, users can open live cloud-synced documents, annotate them with the included InkSight magnetic stylus, and save them back to the cloud instantly. At approximately 300g and 6mm thin, it is easily held in one hand.

The Note Mini C is equipped with:

- 8.52" Kaleido 3 color E Ink screen - 4096 colors, 300 ppi B/W, dual-tone front light

- BOOX InkSight magnetic active stylus with side button; orange magnetic folio case

- 3150mAh battery, fingerprint-enabled power button, dual speakers

Palma 3 - Focused and Intentional Tech

The palm-sized Palma 3 continues the Palma series' "Quiet Tech" philosophy, a low-stimulation second screen for people who want to reclaim their attention from infinite feeds and notification noise. The new generation brings an upgraded build: a refined anodized aluminum frame replaces plastic, joined by a paper-textured fiberglass backplate in new dual-tone color options.

A 3,950mAh battery delivers days of reading on a single charge, 128GB of storage holds an entire library, and new BOOX InkSense Plus handwriting support (with optional stylus) adds quick and responsive notetaking capabilities. A 16MP rear camera with LED flash handles document scanning, and dual microphones enable voice memos and speech-to-text.

The Palma 3 is equipped with:

- 6.13" HD black-and-white E Ink screen - 300 PPI, dual-tone front light, ambient light sensor
