#FocalTherapy “aims to spare men the incontinence, impotence and even penile shortening that have made treating #ProstateCancer one of the most controversial and polarizing fields in medicine.”

Is bpMRI non-inferior to mpMRI? Is image-fusion biopsy superior to cognitive biopsy?

HIFU has been available on the NHS for 20 years, so why aren’t all men told about focal treatments?
Some consultants will only offer what they know like surgery or radiotherapy. It’s time for change. Help us raise awareness & fund HIFU equipment for NHS hospitals.

"There's a lot of uncertainty within the medical and research community."
Prostate cancer presents unique challenges to the NHS as there is no medical consensus on the best way to screen for the disease, says Professor Hashim Ahmed @LondonProstate1.

The balance of radical and focal that is right for our patients.
This balance is what all centres should be offering.
Sadly most men not even told about focal as an option. Advocates for screening should take note. No screening without focal therapy.

📈 With almost 3000 RARP, focal HIFU and focal cryotherapy cases since 2017, we’re treating more and more patients across the UK every year at Imperial

@LoebStacy at #AAEU24 giving us a warning shot on misinformation on #prostatecancer on nearly 40% of #socialmedia posts!
Including using a dog dewormer causing serious liver problems!!
Doctors should empower their patients and have an educational role as advocates
