Each year more than 21,000 Australian men will be newly diagnosed with prostate cancer that has not yet spread beyond the prostate.

In this vodcast, we’ll learn more on Focal Therapy from one of the national and international pioneers, Professor Phillip Stricker AO. He leads the conversation on how the therapy can, for some of these men, offer a treatment option that ablates the tumour without damaging surrounding nerves and tissues.
