If your doctor mentions screening you for prostate cancer, it’s time to pay full attention and be an active participant in your medical care. Dr. Marc Bjurlin offers five tips for patients facing a screening decision. @UNCurology unc.edu/posts/2026/09/24/her…

“One of the most important aspects of this event was keeping care local,” said William Moore, Men’s Health Coordinator at UNC Lineberger. “By partnering with UNC Nash, we were able to provide education, screening and a direct pathway to follow-up care, all within the community.”
Expanding access to #ProstateCancer screening in Eastern NC. 💙 @UNCurology @UNC_Lineberger & UNC Health Nash partnered to provide education & PSA screenings, connecting men with local health professionals & helping reduce barriers to early detection.

UNC will establish the Initiative for Generative Immunotherapy, creating public, multimodal data, to help reach a future where cancer patients can get rapid personalized cancer vaccines when they are diagnosed.
Today’s “neoantigen” cancer vaccines are one of the few medicines designed computationally for each patient, by sequencing a tumor cell to predict which tumor-specific targets are presented on its surface. But that sequencing is itself a proxy of reality, because it is difficult and expensive to measure the cell’s surface targets directly, and furthermore to check how strongly a patient’s immune system reacts to each of those proteins.
UNC will generate those missing links across hundreds of tumors and multiple different types of cancer, creating one of the first training and evaluation datasets in this field, with de-identified public data for researchers around the world to build on.
We're proud to support @iskander and @BenjaminGVincen as they build something big and new here:
