For anyone who missed the press release this morning, Prostate Cancer patients with early stage diagnosis, today’s announcement could be great news. Same outcomes as both prostatectomy or RT but many fewer side effects.
Whilst most on here will know, focal therapies are not new, but I see their introduction into mainstream treatments as a major breakthrough. Maybe the great debate about surgery or RT for those on a curable diagnosis will be a thing of the past. Congratulations to the researchers, now hurry up and find a cure for stage 4 please!
