The Wright Society Annual Medicine Lecture

Join us on 3 March 2025 from 6.30pm onwards for welcome drinks, with the lecture starting at 7.00pm

We are all touched in some way by cancer directly or indirectly.  Medical Director of The Royal Marsden Hospital, Professor Nicholas Van As, has led the way in research in prostate cancer making ground-breaking progress in treatments over the last 12 months.  We are delighted that he will present this year’s Wright Society Annual Medicine Lecture ‘Innovations in Oncology- Shaping the future of Prostate cancer treatment’

Professor Nicholas van As was appointed Medical Director in January 2016. He has been a Consultant Clinical Oncologist in the Urology Unit at The Royal Marsden since 2008 and is the hospital’s clinical lead for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and CyberKnife. Professor van As was previously Chair of the UK SBRT Consortium and is the national clinical lead for NHS England’s Commissioning through Evaluation Programme for SBRT. His main research interests are in stereotactic and image guided radiotherapy, risk prediction in early prostate cancer, and functional MRI, and he has published numerous papers on these subjects and delivered presentations at international meetings. He is the Chief Investigator for the PACE trial – an international, randomised controlled trial comparing SBRT to image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and surgery for treating prostate cancer. Outcomes from the PACE trial are changing the way prostate cancer is treated in the Uk and around the world.
