On 23rd May 2024, at the Research Hospital, the course Prostate Cancer – From a precise diagnosis to a tailored treatment was held: a training appointment for Italian and international residents entirely dedicated to the treatment of prostate cancer, with Live Surgery sessions from the operating theatres.
The course was organised and coordinated by Prof. Nicolò Buffi – Director of the School of Specialisation in Urology at University – in collaboration with Dr. Paolo Casale, Dr. Giovanni Lughezzani and Dr. Omid Sedigh from Gradenigo, and it focused on ultrasound diagnosis of prostate cancer and focal treatment, a cutting-edge technique for which is one of the reference centres.
“Learning this technique,” says Prof. Nicolò Buffi, ” is an opportunity to gain a closer insight into precision medicine and, therefore, be able to give many patients an extra chance. The goal is always to define the best treatment pathway for each person based on their characteristics and needs. In this sense, focal therapy is proving to be increasingly effective, and the data from our Operating Unit were also confirmed during the last Congress of the American Society of Urology’.
The course was a unique training opportunity for our trainees to become acquainted with precision medicine and learn from the very best professionals.
