A wonderful final keynote talk from Dr Elisabete Weiderpass (Director of IARC) highlighting the impact of cancer and the real need and opportunity for cancer prevention. A call to action for this engaged audience and beyond! #PrevConf25
Energising reflections from the amazing #PrevConf25 co-chairs @sarahblagden.bsky.social, Profs Jaffee & Gunter, hosted by Dr Castle. A rallying call to the research community. Crowdsourced ideas fuelled a rich bucket list for future projects & #PrevConf26 topics. No time to pause!
Insightful session on cancer prevention implementation chaired by Prof Bauld with Dr Tryon & Profs Domchek, Jebb & Sullivan. It’s not just about evidence—it’s about political will, systems change & public trust. Can we turn knowledge into action? #PrevConf25
Academic punches (and kicks!) flew as @renehan_andrew & Prof Pollak faced off on GLP-1 agonists in cancer prevention—citing each other’s papers as ammo! A fiery, entertaining, and thought-provoking debate on a fast-emerging field. #PrevConf25

The final day of #Prevconf25 is here, the 'cherry on the cake day'. Kicking off with the launch of the 4th edition of the Cancer Atlas from ACS & IARC. This important update is crucial for understanding the current global landscape and enabling effective future preventive interventions.
Emotional, insightful panel on defining risk from the patient & public perspective—hosted by Dr Dahut with Carole Baas, Anna Fry, Steph Philips & Prof Crosbie. A powerful reminder that lived experience can deepen prevention research. #PrevConf25
What an intellectual tussle between yincaoscd.bsky.social & Prof Anderson! On why cancer prevention must start early—risk, origins & targets in youth are key. Late-life action is too late. Facts clashed, emotions flared, with academic 'bribery' & 'blackmail' thrown in #PrevConf25
Immensely rich panel chaired by Prof Wood with Prof Marnix, Kit, Jane & Jones unearthed key future research questions on defining pre-cancer—paving the way for nuanced preventive strategies, mindful of patient & public perspectives on downstream effect #PrevConf25
At the CRUK Cancer Prevention Research Conference in London, UK, with this fantastic group of Canadian attendees and research talent! #PrevConf25
A whirlwind at #PrevConf25! ~The convergence of ageing, genetics & cancer risk—co-chaired by @wtklab.bsky.social , @ashi-w.bsky.social —unpacked how ageing, environment & evolution shape cancer. Stellar talks from @atjcagan.bsky.social, Profs Stewart, Tammela, & Alonso-Curbelo.
Day 2, here we go! Kicking off unusually with a musical interlude featuring the Day 2 keynote speaker, Prof. Sir Burn, who subsequently highlighted the key outcomes from the CaPP3 study - cancer prevention is a reality, especially in those with elevated hereditary risk #PrevConf25
A powerful session at #PrevConf25 on why health inequalities must be front and centre in cancer risk and primary prevention—co-chaired by Profs Davis & Bhatla, with key insights from Prof Chambwe, Prof Chibwesha, Dr McCullough & @countthedead.bsky.social.
A rich discussion at #PrevConf25 with @timmunologist.bsky.social, Profs Coussens, Roychoudhuri & Travis on how immune health and its dysregulation influence cancer initiation and progression—and the opportunities this offers for primary prevention.
Poster explaining the work of the UK Therapeutic Cancer Prevention Network
Check out the work of the UK Therapeutic Cancer Prevention Network at #PrevConf25 (poster 99). The group champions prevention research and encourages collaboration & knowledge exchange. Find out more: www.ecmcnetwork.org.uk/groups/uk-th...
In the Pre-cancer Biology & Interception session, co-chaired by Profs Leedham & Ghobrial, @jenmorton.bsky.social, Dr Fabre, Prof Ghobrial & Prof Winton unpacked the complex but crucial windows for prevention. Key message: “It’s the beginning, not the end.” #PrevConf25
Cracking Day 1 keynote talk by Prof Balmain at #PrevConf25: Cancer prevention isn’t just about avoiding mutations. Non-mutagenic environmental factors can promote tumours — highlighting a broader, critical window for intervention. Research funded by @cancergrand.bsky.social
Professor Liz Jaffee opens #PrevConf25 with a powerful call to action on why cancer primary prevention matters now more than ever. An inspiring start to our 2nd annual Cancer Prevention Research Conference!
Proud to support the #PrevConf25 Programme Committee — with nearly 400 expected, it’s going to be an incredible gathering! Can’t wait for Prof Sir John Burn’s keynote on this important study: tinyurl.com/p7ana5ud
Today’s @cruk-cityoflondon.bsky.social Primer Event was the perfect kickoff!
Delighted to host our Prevention Primer with @cancerresearchuk.org ahead of #PrevConf25. We kicked off with the clinical perspective, hearing from Eva Szabo (NCI) and @sarahblagden.bsky.social, who discussed using precision trials in high risk populations to go further, faster in prevention research
Totally psyched for the start of what I’m calling Cancer Prevention Research Celebration Week! Kicking off with @CRUKCOLcentre’s “Learn the Basics: Primer on Cancer Prevention” — diving into the research continuum with world-leading experts. Let’s go! #PrevConf25
We are proud to co-host the Primer with @cancerresearchuk.org. This event aims to prepare early-career researchers with an interest in cancer prevention to benefit fully from #PrevConf25, which begins the following day.
