Nice #LightningTalk from @maxbeesley.bsky.social as part of #PPCG 2025 meeting Using @10xgenomics.bsky.social #Visium & #inferCNV to spatially profile clonal heterogeneity & metastasis in #ProstateCancer #SPACE_Study @Pinkykotecha.bsky.social @thineskrishna.bsky.social @sandyfigiel.bsky.social

Real treat to hear Ros Eeles explain rationale for genetic risk in #ProstateCancer screening. A few key observations •~50% of genetic risk still unknown (N.B. was 95% 10 yrs ago) •difference between common (RR x2) and rare (RR 5-10x) variants •Most RR refers to any PCa NOT lethal disease #PPCG

Brilliant session focused entirely on spatial multiomics @theaacr.bsky.social #AUA25 Well said @tanevski.bsky.social "Cancer is a spatial disease-spatialomics is the future of cancer science"! Wonderful composite spatial data from Linghua Wang @mdanderson.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Really enjoyed this deep dive into intratumoural immune archetypes from Matt Krummel #AACR25 @TheAACR.bsky.social Loved this video on T Cell vs Dendritic Cell interacting #IntratumouralHeterogeity #ClonalEvolution #ReactiveImmunity

Join us in welcoming Alastair Lamb (@lambalastair.bsky.social) to the BCI @qmulfmd.bsky.social. Dr Lamb will launch the next phase of his research into #prostatecancer, supported by a new £1.6m grant from @cancerresearchuk.org 📰 Read more: www.bci.qmul.ac.uk/general-news... 🧪 #medsky #oncosky

Welcome to the Faculty, @lambalastair.bsky.social

Few teasers here from our breaking news GU Cast yesterday on TRANSLATE trial #eau25 @lambalastair.bsky.social and team

Congratulations to BJUI Global Prize winners Arthur Yim and Matthew Alberto for their #OpenAccess paper 'Near-infrared spectroscopy as a novel method of ex vivo bladder cancer tissue characterisation', presented today at #USANZ25 doi.org/10.1111/bju....

Great talk from @thineskrishna.bsky.social on #RadioSpatialGenomics & machine learning approaches to #ProstateCancer risk stratification, fusing spatial tissue data w high quality #mpMRI @cancerresearchuk.org #ClinicalResearchMeeting #SPACE_Study @ndsurgicalsci.bsky.social @oxfordcancer.bsky.social

Good to be involved in the @cancerresearchuk.org #ClinicalReseachers meeting at @rcn.org.uk Cavendish Sq. Great opportunity to meet other #ClinicianScientists, network & discuss high quality science. @thineskrishna.bsky.social @charlesswanton.bsky.social @clareturnbull.bsky.social

2. Nice data. One again show outcomes from #prostatecancer. But avg. age 75 in HIFU cohort and 50% had Gleason 6. Overtreatment common - albeit with less morbid Rx. Confirm need for RCTs @londonprostate1.bsky.social @ip-london.bsky.social @euplatinum.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @lambalastair.bsky.social

V cool to be starting first proper day @QMBCI.bsky.social Charterhouse Sq! Thanks to Francesca C & Nitzan Rosenfeld for taking me on as Group Leader in Centre for Cancer Evolution🧬. And to Guys Urology for making it work🙏 Looking forward to rebuilding #SPACE_Study team here - recruiting soon!

Just out in @bmj.com, our "Uncertainties in Practice" article on #LATP vs #TRUS We highlight evidence so far, discordance between recommendations (@UroWeb.bsky.social vs @NIHR.bsky.social vs #AUA) & need for nuance (!) Not long now until #TranslateTrial... bmj.com/content/387/bm…👈

Another angle! Great discussion!

Really useful 2 days #UR-UK in Bristol. Meeting of 32 research-active UK urologists ToR: networking to identify areas for game-changing research in Uro-oncology Grateful for support from TUF, J&J, Astellas & Medac Will be fascinating to see organic development of this group over next few years.

Really looking forward to two days brainstorming on urological research at inaugural #UR-UK meeting in Bristol with @jonathananing.bsky.social, @mralexlaird.bsky.social, @tomjmitchell.bsky.social, @maxinegbtran.bsky.social et al. @BAUSurology.bsky.social Thanks @TUF.bsky.social for support!

I had an emotional day at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences celebrating the life and achievements of Prof Val Macaulay. Val was a #prostatecancer researcher like no other, passionate, caring, dedicated and …stubborn 🤓 Honoured to pay our respects on behalf of Prostate Cancer UK.

Moving to attend memorial symposium for our recently departed friend & colleague Prof Val Macaulay Amazing career in #IGF-1 signalling & #ProstateCancer Perhaps even more significantly in supervising 30+ PhDs & widely known for her quiet empathy & compassion, alongside scientific sharpness & drive

Belated post to thank @BAUSurology.bsky.social Oncology Section for excellent meeting in Nottingham #BAUSOncology2024. Cutting edge talks & stimulating conversation! Think we're on the cusp of something new & exciting with upcoming #UR-UK (Uro-oncology Research UK) inaugural meeting...

Advert for our next #KidneyStone Senior Fellow @ Guys Urology - start date October 2025. Excellent opportunity with operating 5 days per week; stepping stone to independent practice; learn PCNL access etc. Info: www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/current-vaca...

Made the most of being (technically) unemployed this morning ❄️🌨☃️!! Now to crack on with some journal reviews that have been stacking up for @bjuijournal.bsky.social... #SnowInOxford #BetweenJobs

Just arrived. Fun to see lots of interesting folks here. Let's see how it goes with #BlueSky
