•22,000 delegates
•7400 abstracts
•Particular focus on organ-specific developments & #survivorship
🔬🧪🎗🧬
First plenary talk from #legend Charles Sawyer @mskcancercenter.bsky.social - good to see #ProstateCancer front & centre!

Delighted to be @cancerwales.bsky.social #WCRC2026 to discuss cancer science @ValeResort
Great programme in a great setting!
Prof Raj Jena @crukcamcentre.bsky.social kicks off with #Keynote on state-of-the-art AI in radiotherapy
@cardiffucu.bsky.social @cumedicine.bsky.social @cavuhb.bsky.social
Understanding the clinical utility of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and future innovations is crucial to incorporating CTCs into the clinical management of #ProstateCancer.
Learn more from Drs. Sophia Abusamra, @lambalastair.bsky.social, and co-authors! 💡

Great #WhiteboardTalk from @YoussefArafat.bsky.social
Exciting use of #ImagingAI #CNN to detect morphol features of metastatic clones in #ProstateCancer
Key elements:
•Visium spots annotated for histo & clone
•Careful patch selection
•Incl TME as 'reflection'
#SPACE_Study
#CEV @qmbci.bsky.social
Awesome talk from Phil Jones @sangerinstitute.bsky.social on mutant clones in non-malignant tissue
Trillions of somatic mutations through lifetime incl skin, gut, bladder, breast, prostate, even neurons & vessels...yet vast majority don't transform

Calling cancer data scientists! 📊 💽 🧮
We have a number of open positions in our core facility @icr.ac.uk These are bioinformatician staff scientist like roles to work on exciting single cell, spatial & other genomics data from across our Institute. A PhD is required. jobs.icr.ac.uk/vacancies/13...
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

@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
