Great to catch up with Hashim U. Ahmed and Mark Emberton at #AUA2023! Great discussion on #focaltherapy and #HIFU . Their mentorship (along with Caroline Moore of course!) has been so valuable as I have expanded the prostate cancer focal therapy offerings at Mayo Clinic Urology


Great to catch up with Mayo Clinic Urology colleagues at the Focal Therapy Society meeting in Washington DC!

Thanks Dan Frendl for the sunrise DC walking tour before the AM session of the Focal Therapy Society meeting. Looking forward to another great day of the conference! Mayo Clinic Urology


One of the best parts about going to conferences is getting to see your mentors! Great to see Prof. Moore Caroline Moore at the Focal Therapy Society meeting!


Excellent HoLEP talk by Mayo Clinic Urology alum Dr. Ilya Sobol at #FOCAL2023! In addition to the great talks so far on focal therapy, the BPH talks have been excellent this morning. Couldn’t be there in person this year, but thoroughly enjoying the livestream! FOCAL+ 2025


Outstanding Expert Panel moderated by Hashim U. Ahmed discussing nuances of focal therapy energy and patient selection at #ipmasterclass24. Derek Lomas discussing our Mayo Clinic Urology experience


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 Dan Frendl!


Had a great time at the Minnesota Urological fall meeting in Duluth. It was great to connect with colleagues from across the state, including several Mayo Clinic Urology alums. After my talk, it was great to take in the views as we cruised on Lake Superior and through Duluth Harbor.


#FOCAL2024 is finally here! Don't forget to follow all of our incredible Faculty: Arvin K. George, MD Abhinav Sidana Dr Andre Abreu Julien Anract Dr. Giovanni E Cacciamani MD MSc FEBU 🇮🇹🇺🇸🇪🇺 Bilal Chughtai John Michael DiBianco Amin Herati @JuanDesLogesMD Veeru Kasi @amirlebastchi Stacy Loeb, MD @dereklomas Rana McKay, MD, FASCO Ruben Olivares MD


Very interesting opening of afternoon Focal Therapy Session by Dr. Herbert Lepor! Patient Selection with Derek Lomas and Energy Selection with Dr Andre Abreu covered A LOT of ground. Are we ready for #PrimeTime?! Respect to Michael Rothberg, MD for tying in my favorite coach COACH PRIME.


Great talk on #AI in the OR by Abhinav Khanna at Minnesota Urological 🤔 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!


Packed room for the start of the Imperial Prostate & Focal Therapy Society Masterclass! Great to be back in London! #IPFTSMasterclass25 Focal Therapy Society


Thanks Hashim U. Ahmed and Imperial Prostate for another fantastic meeting! So great to connect with old friends and make new ones.

Compelling arguments by Hashim U. Ahmed 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


Stephen Boorjian, MD highlights updates to AUA Microhematuria guidelines at #AUA2025 for INTERMEDIATE Risk group -Women cannot be high risk based on age only -Should RECOMMEND Cysto + US -May offer urine cytology/tumor markers to help decide on cysto -Persistent microhematuria →cysto


Fantastic to see a full house at the Focal Therapy Society session with Rafael Sanchez-Salas leading the way #AUA25 🇺🇸 We had a fantastic joint #IPFTSMasterclass2025 in London two weeks ago - here is to ongoing trans-Atlantic collaboration!
