🚨active surveillance, for #prostatecancer, now with a 25-year horizon🚨
@EUplatinum
📊 GÖTEBORG-1, screen-detected low- and intermediate-risk PCa, f/u up to 25 yrs
✅ extended data continue to support AS as safe for well-selected pts over the very long term
⚠️ intermediate-risk selection and adherence to follow-up still matter, this is screen-detected disease
⭐️PCa-specific survival at 25 yrs was 94%
-99% for VLR
-92% for LR
-85% for Int Risk
🎯 bottom line: when we tell a pt w/with low-risk PCa that surveillance is safe, we can now point to a quarter century of trial follow-up.

Precision in robotic surgery begins with better visualization and smarter guidance.
Technology Track 3 at the 2026 Innovation in Medicine Summit explored how advanced imaging, augmented reality, digital pathology, and vision-language AI are helping surgeons better understand anatomy, improve intraoperative decision-making, and enhance surgical precision.
Hear insights from Kinju Adhikari, Daniele Amparore, and Wouter Bogaert, with moderation by Prof. Nikhil Vasdev and Dr. B. M. Zeeshan Hameed, as they discuss technologies shaping the next generation of image-guided robotic surgery.

A real privilege to host my academic mentor, @prokarurol , for a Hydros Aquablation cases observation at Pinehill Hospital, Hitchin. Delighted to celebrate my 150th Aquablation procedure in his presence.
Wishing Prokar Dasgupta OBE, HonFREng every success as he launches his Hydros Aquablation programme at @thelondonclinic
. Looking forward to continuing our collaboration to advance innovation in BPH treatment.

Training surgeons for the future requires more than technical mastery—it calls for immersive learning, intelligent systems, and stronger human skills.
Focusing on virtual reality, AI-enabled decision support, and the role of cognitive and behavioural skills in surgical practice, this session explored how surgical training is evolving alongside innovation.
With contributions from Rooma Sinha, Nikhil Vasdev, and Nicholas Raison, and moderation by Chandru Sundaram and Athanasios Papatsoris, the discussion highlighted new perspectives on preparing the next generation of surgeons.
