We're proud to announce that #OurImperial Professor Hashim U. Ahmed and Professor Rakesh Heer are two of the six lead researchers on Prostate Cancer UK's ￡42 million TRANSFORM screening trial. TRANSFORM is the biggest and most ambitious prostate cancer trial in 20 years that aims to transform diagnosis and save thousands more lives each year. Professor Ahmed, our Professor of Urology and chief investigator for TRANSFORM said: “This is by far the biggest, most exciting trial in prostate cancer screening and diagnosis in over 20 years. By evaluating fast MRI scans, PSA testing and genetics, we’ll finally be able to prove which is the best of the bunch when it comes to diagnosis. We will also see if they perform better in combination.” Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Currently, there are more than 12,000 prostate cancer deaths in the UK alone. Professor Heer, our Professor of Urology at Imperial, said: “The huge bank of samples, images and data from the trial will be at a scale never before seen in prostate cancer. This treasure trove will help researchers around the world create and validate innovative new tests, treatments, and AI tools.” Read more about TRANSFORM: https://ow.ly/QOlr50RtclC
