About this event

  • Date and time Tue 16 May 2023 from 8:30am to 6:45pm
  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Radiology

Join us to discover the role and value of next-generation imaging in the entire prostate cancer journey, from screening to advanced disease states. This informative meeting will utilize a framework of definable clinical states to help you understand the pathological states, categorization problems, and clinical needs during the entire patient journey.

To conclude the meeting, the Finzi prize winners will present their research to the attendees. To learn more about this prestigious prize and how to submit your abstract, click here.

By attending, you will:

  • Understand the pathological states, problems of categorisation, and clinical needs during the entire patient journey
  • Understand how imaging can help meet clinical priorities and so promote the personalisation of care in advancing clinical states
  • Explore how next-generation prostate imaging, such as multiparametric MRI and MRI-directed biopsies, and whole-body MRI and PET/CT assessments with clinical biomarkers, can create opportunities to support and manage pathways of patients

A tailored reading list of extra educational resources has been created by our library teams specifically for this event and will be made available to you. RSM members are able to access the full list of resources. To benefit from many of the resources in this list – become a member.
