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

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

Agreed. If I did it again I'd put one of the needles hitting with TRUS. Was quite a protracted process getting article over the line (made that figure 2yrs agoo) - we had to keep changing tables & text each time another trial came out! You could perhaps argue that figure presents historical view 🤓

Alastair Lamb @lambalastair.bsky.social · Dec 2

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...
