Great representation from RadNetCRUKGlasgow UofG Cancer Sciences Surgery Glasgow Royal Infirmary at #ESTRO24 for a home International Meeting in Sunny Glasgow, Scotland! 😎 Super presentations from Ross McMahon Lydia Melissourgou-Syka Lily Hillson on their #rectalcancer research 👏 👏 🤩 OCathail.SM Colin W Steele


What an amazing opportunity to attend and present my work on #rectalcancer at #ESTRO24! What a vibrant meeting. Great research and even greater people! ⭐ Campbell Roxburgh Colin W Steele Lily Hillson OCathail.SM Ross McMahon Lynsey Devlin RadNetCRUKGlasgow UofG Cancer Sciences Surgery Glasgow Royal Infirmary

Durable complete responses to PD-1 blockade alone in mismatch repair deficient locally advanced rectal cancer #ASCO24 👉100% cCR, no relapse & no additional therapy 👉20 pts with sustained response of 12mo 👉ctDNA as an early marker of response 🧐Just amazing efficacy… ESMO - Eur. Oncology


Neoadjuvant immunotherapy all the way for dMMR/MSI-H CRC? 🙌 🙌#ASCO24 Lots of work still to be done for the benefit of our patients and the science 💉🧪🧬🔬🧐 Happy to be part of a team of research active oncologists Andrea Cercek Myriam Chalabi Kristen Ciombor Join us! 🤝🤝


PhD opportunity🚨: come join our team UofG Cancer Sciences RadNetCRUKGlasgow working on research developing novel AI-based classifiers of RT response in #rectalcancer. Funded by Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK. Please get in touch!👇 Edwards Lab findaphd.com/phds/project/f…





Congratulations @chrisjmwilliams on this fantastic effort 👏 Very timely review in NatureRevClinOncol as the role of neoadjuvant immunotherapy continues to expand in #colorectalcancer

In a Review now published online,@chrisjmwilliams, Allyson Peddle,Pashtoon Kasi MD, MS,@Jenseligmann,Campbell Roxburgh, Gary Middleton & Sabine Tejpar discuss the evidence supporting neoadjuvant immune-checkpoint inhibition in dMMR and pMMR colorectal cancer nature.com/articles/s4157…


Huge privilege to stand with the CRC-STARS interview team at Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK yesterday. An inspirational team led by Owen Sansom 🏳️🌈 and Simon Leedham to tackle CRC plasticity during therapy responses.






Delighted to announce the successful renewal of my UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship. I initiated the FLF under challenging personal circumstances and I would not have got to here without the unfailing support from RadNetCRUKGlasgow UofG Cancer Sciences CRUK Scotland Inst FLF Development Network and MANY more

What an amazing moment to hear my examiners, @erik_wennerberg and @ProfAJChalmers, call me Dr! A million thanks go to my supervisors, Campbell Roxburgh and Colin W Steele, to Owen Sansom 🏳️🌈 for his immense support and brilliance, and to all my colleagues, friends and family! 🍾🥂
