We are holding a users group on monday 27th september 2021 (3pm to 6pm).
For those urologists doing focal and those interested in starting it in the UK.
Hopefully F2F in London.
Please DM if interested.

“Focal therapy is not an alternative to active surveillance.”
@LondonProstate1 delivers a powerful talk on the current state of #FocalTherapy for #ProstateCancer at #BAUS26
The evidence is now strong enough that all eligible men should be told of, and offered, focal therapy.

BREAKING NEWS 📰 A less invasive treatment for prostate cancer called focal therapy is just as effective as surgery or radiotherapy, with a lower risk of side effects, a new study has found.
The 10-year study, led by @imperialcollege, was supported by us through a doctoral fellowship, our @ImperialBRC and the Imperial Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre.
As @PreetKGillMP, Minister for Health Innovation and Safety, said: "Our National Cancer Plan sets out our ambition to transform cancer care, and backing innovations like focal therapy is exactly how we are delivering on that promise."

A career highlight to lead this study on 10 year outcomes in almost 3500 men undergoing focal therapy, now published in @EUplatinum
And fantastic to see the widespread UK media coverage today across TV, radio, and print!
Many thanks to my collaborators and mentors 🙏

I was fortunate to be able to benefit from a more advanced focal therapy to treat my cancer that reduced the risk of life-changing side effects. Right now, many men don’t have that option, and that’s not right - not least because we do not encourage enough screening.
Prostate cancer is incredibly common and the way we treat it is changing. We should be doing everything we can to ensure that men across the UK – wherever they live, and whatever their means – can benefit from the latest advances. I hope this new evidence helps speed up wider access, so more men can benefit from the focused treatments that I received.

Not sure who told Mr Wootton to pay £19K in the UK but focal therapy is available in the NHS without having to pay (in a number of centres).
He should be advised to get an NHS referral. @UkFocal @IP_London

This article is therefore incorrect and he should be advised to get an NHS referral. @UkFocal @IP_London
