Sheraz Markar Hashim U. Ahmed Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences Bryant_Lab Ashok Handa Imperial Prostate Surgery and Cancer Imperial Urology Yes, will be great to welcome Hashim U. Ahmed to Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences #SurgicalGrandRounds !
V much looking forward to this too. Particularly given that some of the #TRANSFORM_Trial info is now public - will be good to get it from the 🐴's mouth

& also Balliol College #SGN Thurs eve!

Imperial Prostate Focal Therapy Fellowship.

Start sept/oct 2024.

Super chuffed that our #SPACE_Study group won #TeamOfTheYear award 🏆🥳🏅 at #NDSAwayDay2024 !!

Been a gr8 yr or two for #spatialbiology in #ProstateCancer -really pleased that our team got this recognition! Thanks Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences👏

Wonderful overview of 20 amazing yrs of #ProstateCancer research from @MrsProstate #NDSAwayDay2024

Transformative developments in prostate diagnostics, MRI and Focal Tx. And huge potential to shift the paradigm in #PCa screening with #TRANSFORM_Trial Prostate Cancer UK NIHR Research

Fascinating lecture from recently emeritus regius Sir John Bell Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences #NDSAwayDay2024 on development of the Medical Sciences biomedical campus, areas of world leadership & future strategic directions.

Also some very candid reflections on mistakes along the way

Glorious sunny day to kick off this years Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences #NDSAwayDay2024

Fungai Dengu, Oxford Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery Department & Alex G-W, Oxford Colorectal excite us w OrganOx story focusing on #LiverReperfusionInjury & colorectal liver mets

Enjoyed examples of surgical l'ship, culture & influence in practice

Thines Krishna presents our #HowWeDoIt video on preparing RARP & LATP tissue for #SpatialTrancriptomics

➡️This enables us to map clonal dynamics in prostate at near cellular resolution which, in combo w nodal mets, permits ID of the #LethalClone !

Awesome cultural experience!! Loved our 🏈 football education Freeman Coliseum watching San Antonio Gunslingers

Thanks to Sophia M. Abusamra for patiently explaining the rules
Never thought I'd see cowbells and @ACDC together!

#AUA24

Interesting talk from Ryuta Watanabe, MD, PhD on transcriptional differences between #NEPC & #ARPC using 10x Genomics #VisiumV2

Such a great idea to interrogate the #TME around these two forms of #PCa

Suggestion that #DDRi may be more effective in de novo NEPC is interesting

#AUA24

Oxford/BJU International & friends go #TexMex at #AUA24 !!

Loved sampling the local fare 🫔🌯🌮🥩 with colleagues & new friends La Margarita in Market Square SaTexasFoodies

Pleasure to present our #SPACE_Study work using #SpatialTranscriptomics to unpack tumour heterogeneity in #ProstateCancer , alongside Sandy Figiel & Thines Krishna

The BIG Qs:
-Who to investigate?
-Who to treat?
-How to keep treating?

These approaches have the answer!!
#AUA24

Thanks to Amer. Urol. Assn. #AUA 24 for oppo to present 3 consec talks on # #SPACE_Study work Oxford Prostate Cancer Biology Group

Great discussions in the room. Thanks for the probing questions.

Love that #AUA still prioritise basic science - a whole session on #SpatialBiology and #TME in #ProstateCancer !!

Prostate cancer is extremely heterogeneous and the spatial transcriptome analysis can allow the different diseases to be stratified more precisely #aua #aua 24 #prostatecancer #cancer Alastair Lamb

What a wonderful team we have here OUH. Had just finished team brief at start of RARP list when Mina bundled me into sim rm where this delicious mango🥭 & cream sponge🎂 waited for us to start the day!

Oh, and 'what will we call you now?'
Alastair will do just fine 👊😎

Interactive and thought-provoking talk from Alastair Lamb eloquently discussing the evidence for LATP biopsy.

Wise words “What is equipoise? Maintaining equivalence when speaking to our patients when the the level of evidence is equivocal.”

#ipmasterclass24

Enjoyed Andrew Vickers talk on renaming GG1 at Imperial Prostate #IPmasterclass24

Somewhat polemical but really important summary of the key arguments.

Still not convinced that a name change is the solution to this problem ...

Summary review of #TPvsTR evidence #State_of_the_Art just out today in BJU International

Is LATP really better than TR?

3 RCTs now out...larger/definitive trials to follow TRANSLATE Trial/The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute #EAU24

Thanks Matt Cooperberg & Michael Jewett for commissioning!

Freddie Hamdy points out #AchillesHeel : we still don't understand biology of #PCa heterogeneity & lethality

We can't start screening as
•we don't know what to look for
•we don't know whether to treat!
