    Read excerpt

The test, which is used by doctors to diagnose which type of tumour a patient has, should mean patients can start treatment including radiotherapy and chemotherapy sooner, and are spared weeks of uncertainty. Steve Palmer, 55, from Nottingham, is among those to benefit from the new technology - and it meant surgeons were able to get his resu

    Prostate cancer trial using focal therapy has fewer side effects (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A less invasive therapy for prostate cancer is just as effective as surgery or radiotherapy but with a lower risk of side effects, a major study suggests. The treatment, named focal therapy, uses high-intensity ultrasound or freezing cryotherapy to destroy cancerous tissue. A 10-year NHS study led by Imperial College London followed nearly 3,500 men who received the therapy, providing long-term data that medical regulators had previously said was missing. Researchers say the results are "excelle
