Joining OnFocus today is Alan Doherty, Clinical Director at the Birmingham Prostate Clinic, and recently voted one of the UK’s top ten prostate cancer specialists in a national poll of consultant urologists published in the Daily Mail.
Alan has been an innovator, advocate and dedicated practitioner of precision treatments for prostate cancer, and joined the Focal Therapy Clinic last year to develop his expertise in delivering focal therapy. In addition to HIFU focal therapy, Alan has embraced IRE or NanoKnife focal treatments with great success for his patients, which has reinforced his views on early diagnosis and, in particular, prostate cancer screening. He’s here today to speak with me about how advancements in and success with focal therapy change the discussion around screening.
