How do we ensure the kidney tumour has been fully resected?\n \;\nThe talk will reflect how clinicians and patients are involved at every stage of the model development\, and how this work refle cts a broader shift toward precision surgery. The ethical and practical co nsiderations of embedding such tools in a high-stakes environment of cance r surgery will also be considered.\nUltimately\, this talk will present DT AS as the future of surgery\, from theoretical principles to actual surger ies where the digital twin becomes a guide\, enhancing rather than replaci ng surgical judgement.\n \; LOCATION:Seminar Room 1\, Newton Institute END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
