Great to see @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social funded work being presented at #ESMO25

Congrats to Peter Godolphin and team from @ucl.ac.uk and @mrcctu.bsky.social

Our fantastic @prostateukprofs.bsky.social career development fellow @juanjimenezvacas.bsky.social takes a closer look at a potential new treatment approach for #ProstateCancer that has stopped responding to existing therapies ⬇️.

Very excited to be in Berlin and at #ESMO25

It's an excellent scheme for establishing connections in your research areas, and it creates opportunities for potential future collaborations. James Thetford, Mentee. University of Surrey.

I am enthusiastic about providing help to ensure researchers succeed and thrive. Professor Jason Carroll, Mentor. University of Cambridge.

🤝Our mentoring scheme brings #ProstateCancer researchers from different institutions together.

🚀To help navigate challenges & build successful careers - delivering maximum impact for men.

💪Together, we're building a stronger, more connected, research community.

One more ride in the bank!

I think I enjoyed it, although I was a bit surprised I managed 49miles!!

Conquered a few hills too.

Just keep peddling! 🚴‍♀️

We @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social are proud to have supported this study. 💙

Although no clear survival benefit was found it's encouraging to see reduction in side effects.

Congratulations to @mrcctu.bsky.social and everyone involved!

Can metabolic imaging help identify more aggressive forms of #ProstateCancer?
