Understanding the clinical utility of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and future innovations is crucial to incorporating CTCs into the clinical management of #ProstateCancer.

Great #WhiteboardTalk from @YoussefArafat.bsky.social
Exciting use of #ImagingAI #CNN to detect morphol features of metastatic clones in #ProstateCancer

Key elements:
โ€ขVisium spots annotated for histo & clone
โ€ขCareful patch selection
โ€ขIncl TME as 'reflection'

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

Real treat to hear Ros Eeles explain rationale for genetic risk in #ProstateCancer screening.

A few key observations
โ€ข~50% of genetic risk still unknown (N.B. was 95% 10 yrs ago)
โ€ขdifference between common (RR x2) and rare (RR 5-10x) variants
โ€ขMost RR refers to any PCa NOT lethal disease
