Guest guest Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I thought I was fairly well informed about prostate cancer matters so I was surprised to read this piece http://tinyurl.com/7uu8pdd in an Australian paper where it is said: <snip> …….rather than removing the whole prostate, some surgeons now eradicate the lump in the gland. <snip> Of course I am aware of focal cryotherapy, focal HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound). And even PDT (Photodynamic Therapy) all of which claim to be able to deal with specific parts of the gland, but I hd nenver seen a write up about focal surgery. A quick Google search threw up a few references including this one http://prostate-cancer.med.nyu.edu/faqs/faqs-focal-therapy Hmmmm....i’d like to see the studies that support this approach. It wasn’t mentioned directly in Mike ’s commentary in January this year - http://tinyurl.com/7qbznjm All the best Prostate men need enlightening, not frightening Terry Herbert - diagnosed in 1996 and still going strong Read A Strange Place for unbiased information at http://www.yananow.org/StrangePlace/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
