UID:21
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nWe extend our heartfelt thanks to our valued members, distinguished delegates, inspiring speakers, and generous sponsors for their exceptional contributions to the success of the BASO 2026 Annual Scientific Conference. At BASO, our commitment to delivering high‑quality education and advancing cancer care through surgical excellence—both within the UK and internationally—remains central to our mission.\n\nThis year’s programme highlighted the profound technological transformation underway in surgical oncology. AI‑assisted diagnostics, data‑driven surgical planning, precision modelling, robotics, and digital decision‑support systems are reshaping how we diagnose disease, plan operations, train surgeons, and deliver personalised cancer care.\n\nThe 2026 programme brought together world‑class speakers, pioneering research, and interactive sessions that showcased the innovations defining the future of surgical practice. We are grateful for your continued engagement and look forward to building on this momentum as we\n\nwork together to shape the next era of cancer care.\n\nMEETING PHOTOGRAPHS | ALBUM \n\nCONFERENCE WEBCAST\n\nCONFERENCE PROGRAMME\n\nCONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS2026 BASO PLENARY AWARDS									Ronald Raven Lifetime Award			Professor John Primrose									Geoff Oates Award			Miss Nicola Fearnhead									Uccio Querci della Rovere Award			Professor Michael Baum																			Following Abstracts BASO Prizes were presented at the BASO MeetingRonald Raven Oral Presentation Prize - Miss Katie Driver (Abstract 108: The Oncological Outcome of Increasing PSA Density (PSAD) Threshold from 0.12 ng/ml2 to 0.15 ng/ml2 to Triage Biopsy in Men with MRI Likert 3 Following a MRI-led Prostate Cancer Diagnostic Pathway: A Multi-centre Cohort Study)BASO~ACS Oral Presentation Prize - Mr Michael Wong (Abstract 09: Nanopore Sequencing of Genomics, Methylomics, and Fragmentomics from Cell-free DNA of Retroperitoneal Soft Tissue Sarcomas)Alan Edward Poster Prize - Mr Shailesh Kannur (Abstract 79: Preoperative TI-RADS and Bethesda Classifications as Predictors of Thyroidectomy Complexity: A Prospective Correlation with the Thyroidectomy Difficulty Score)BASO Trainees Oral Presentation Prize - Mr Ademola Adeyeye (Abstract 65: Endoscopic electroporation for colorectal neoplasia: focused systematic synthesis, evidence map and exploratory pooled analysis)BASO Trainees Poster Presentation Prize - Miss Fiona Wu (Abstract 122: A quantitative analysis of patient attitudes towards artificial intelligence‑assisted decision‑making in cancer multidisciplinary teams)BASO Medical Student Oral Presentation Prize - Miss Disha Yadav (Abstract 67: Patterns and predictors of early recurrence in colorectal cancer)BASO Medical Student Poster Presentation Prize - Miss Disha Yadav (Abstract 68: Age related differences in colorectal cancer disease presentation and biology - a real-world cohort study) \n\n \n\n
