[Prof Veeru Kasi @veerukasi]

We have a fully funded 3 year PhD post @ucl starting Aug 2025. Research is on optimising prostate cancer diagnosis using imaging (e.g MRI, PET, AI). Join our world-class team with proven track-record for changing practice. DM me if interested @BURSTurology @BSUroRad @ESRUrology

[Andrew Vickers @VickersBiostats]

Compared to Goteborg 2 screening (PSA then MRI; NEJM) and PROSCREEN (PSA then marker then MRI; JAMA), BARCODE PRS based screening found fewer significant cancers (grade group 2+), more insignificant cancer and biopsied more men (the trifecta!). https://t.co/9x3nVIcwA1

1/ 🚨New preprint out on medRxiv

We found that PI-RADS v2 score 5 is a powerful predictor of prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM).
MRI is not just diagnostic—it's prognostic.

Finnish peer-review quality ranking authority #julkaisufoorumi #JUFO for scientific publications (ranking 1=basic, 2=advanced, 3=top level) downgraded 270+ journals from @MDPIOpenAccess and @FrontiersIn to tier 0 (effectively "trash tier" if not amended): https://t.co/3ecgY845NI

🚨 Our abstract was accepted for a poster presentation at @ASCO #GU25

[Oussama Batouche @0ussamabatouche]

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Denis Rustand, a postdoctoral fellow at @bayescomp_inla @cemseKAUST, who will visit our group next month!🎉
Besides strengthening our research collaboration, Denis will deliver an exciting talk on #INLAjoint (1/2) #DataScience #INLA #JointModels

[Heidi Haikala @science_yall]

Tomorrow I'll be discussing cancer research and the Pink Ribbon campaign on @huomentasuomi (10 AM, MTV3). Later in the evening, our lab will be featured on a special charity episode of Dancing with the Stars! Hoping for a big win for Finnish cancer research- patients deserve it🌸

[Oussama Batouche @0ussamabatouche]

I am glad to have participated in the #FCIsymposium2024, excellent speakers and insightful talks. I was particularly interested in #AI for #DigitalPathology and the advances in the field. Thank you @CancerInstFIN for organizing this event and @Kuopionkaupunki for the warm welcome

Be there or be square!

One week to go! Preparations for the greatest #cancerresearch event in Finland this year are at full steam. We are expecting over 250 participants and 70 posters in addition to our magnificent lineup for speakers. C U next week! @CancerInstFIN @UEFcancer #syöpätutkimus @ficaneast

Kiitos lahjoittajien, Syöpäsäätiö on voinut tukea pitkäjänteisesti miesten yleisten syöpien kuten eturauhassyövän tutkimusta Suomessa. ProScreen-tutkimuksessa on saatu uusia, lupaavia tuloksia. Lue lisää: https://t.co/3GiLhkujk4 #eturauhassyöpä #miestensyövät #syöpätutkimus

We take also seriously the inter-pathologists variation amongst our screening sites. Expected impact of MRI-targeted biopsy interreader variability among uropathologists on ProScreen prostate cancer s… https://t.co/b4bsFxE9g9

[Antti Rannikko @RannikkoAntti]

Worried about systematic biopsies being omitted in ProScreen trial?

We’ve digged deep into the nMRI lesions and believe that rescreening and PSA-D trigger are proper safety tailgates👇

Seems we’re on a right path towards proper benefit to harm ratio in PCa screening with this 3-tiered algorithm. Importantly, we’re powered for PCa mortality outcome!
