Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer: Learn patient selection, technologies, post-treatment monitoring & real-world cases. Led by experts from @FocalSociety@DerekLomas & @DFrendl#ProstateCancer#Urology
@MayoUrology@FocalSociety@dfrendl@Endo_Society Clarification for everyone. Location is actually room 103B. The online schedule and app are incorrect, correct room is listed in the printed meeting schedule.
While in town for the #WCET25@Endo_Society meeting, @DerekLomas and I had to stop by @MayoUrology Arizona and observe @dfrendl perform two IRE cases. A true tri-site collaboration. Thankful for this opportunity.
Fantastic to see a full house at the @FocalSociety session with @RSanchez_Salas leading the way #AUA25 🇺🇸
We had a fantastic joint #IPFTSMasterclass2025 in London two weeks ago - here is to ongoing trans-Atlantic collaboration!

Compelling arguments by @LondonProstate1 at the Focal Therapy crossfire debate at #AUA2025
-Treatment side effects are reduced 5-10 fold
-Iso-effective to radical therapy at 5-10 year
-Focal therapy should be offered as a standard option for (eligible) intermediate patients
Packed room for the start of the Imperial Prostate & Focal
Therapy Society Masterclass! Great to be back in London! #IPFTSMasterclass25@FocalSociety
Great talk on #AI in the OR by @abhinav__khanna at @MNUrological
🤔 Can it estimate bladder tumor size?
🔢 Assist with tasks like counting instruments?
👩🏻⚕️Assess surgical skills, incorporate into education
😱 Will robots replace surgeons??!
Tip of the iceberg!
POSTER 2) Among men undergoing MR fusion prostate biopsy for unilateral PIRADS 3 or
4 lesions, transperineal biopsy resulted in greater disease detection for both targeted fusion and systematic samples. TP biopsy may provide a more thorough pre-treatment assessment for FT.
@MayoUrology with two posters at #FOCAL2024 POSTER 1) Those are active surveillance with PIRADS 5 lesions disease have lower rates of high-grade disease on targeted biopsy, compared to those with no previous prostate cancer diagnosis. @dfrendl
Very interesting opening of afternoon Focal Therapy Session by Dr. Herbert Lepor! Patient Selection with @DerekLomas and Energy Selection with @ALDCAbreu covered A LOT of ground. Are we ready for #PrimeTime?! Respect to @mbrothberg for tying in my favorite coach @DeionSanders. Clearly @RubenOlivaresG had momentum in the this focal room…@AbhinavSidana enjoyed panel. #Focal2024 @therapy_focal@arvinkgeorge
Now what in the heck is this Balloon Debate?!? 🎈
Had a great time at the @MNUrological fall meeting in Duluth. It was great to connect with colleagues from across the state, including several @MayoUrology alums. After my talk, it was great to take in the views as we cruised on Lake Superior and through Duluth Harbor.
Today’s @MNUrological meeting had it all!
⚡️ Great talk about focal therapy for prostate cancer from @DerekLomas
👨⚕️ Catching up with @drvandersteen
🍁 Fall colors (and a boat ride!) in Duluth Harbor
@LanceMynderse from @MayoUrology giving an excellent talk on Complications of Focal Therapy including how to manage and avoid them at @FocalSociety meeting.
Had a great time at the #ipmasterclass24! Great programme and good to see so many friends and colleagues. Was even able to sneak in a little sightseeing around London with @dfrendl!
