9th International Symposium on Focal Therapy and Imaging in Prostate and Kidney Cancer

June 23, 2016 to June 25, 2016

The Symposium builds on the confidence and enthusiasm for incorporating real-time imaging into the diagnostic and treatment strategy for prostate and kidney cancer and addresses all the key issues and latest developments in focal therapy, a minimally-invasive treatment that destroys the known area(s) of cancer while preserving a man's continence and potency.
