Excited to be at the 15th Focal Therapy Society Symposium Conference with my good friends Tom Sanford, MD and Srinivas Vourganti, MD ! Learning the latest concepts on how to start a successful focal therapy program for prostate cancer.

Dr. Indibir Gill at Focal Therapy Society Society of Urologic Robotic Surgeons (SURS) meeting emphasizes that in the era of PROTECT that surgery is NOT the only option for intermediate risk disease. Both AS and new focal therapy methods are important options to consider for men with lower risk prostate cancer.

It was great to catch up with my former mentor, Peter Pinto, and his group of fellows Focal Therapy Society. Grateful for his guidance that propelled my career in urology! 🙏 #Urology #Mentorship #FocalTherapy Tom Sanford, MD @NCICCR_UroOnc @NCIResearchCtr
