Mayo Clinic Urology was honored to host visiting professor Dr. Hashim Ahmed for a discussion on advances in prostate cancer screening, precision diagnosis, and focal therapy. #ProstateCancer #FocalTherapy @imperialcollege @LondonProstate1 @SBoorjian @DerekLomas

Day 1 at #JUA2026 in Kyoto 🇯🇵 Outstanding JUA/AUA joint symposium today, with excellent talks by Dr. Eastham and Dr. Sandhu. Looking forward to the rest of JUA and the concurrent International Symposium on Focal Therapy. @AmerUrological @jua_2026 @FocalSociety

🚨 Join us TODAY at #WCET2025 🗓️Tuesday, Sept 9 ⏰5–6 PM 📍103 B Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer: Learn patient selection, technologies, post-treatment monitoring & real-world cases. Led by experts from @FocalSociety @DerekLomas & @DFrendl #ProstateCancer #Urology

@MayoUrology @FocalSociety @dfrendl @Endo_Society Clarification for everyone. Location is actually room 103B. The online schedule and app are incorrect, correct room is listed in the printed meeting schedule.

While in town for the #WCET25 @Endo_Society meeting, @DerekLomas and I had to stop by @MayoUrology Arizona and observe @dfrendl perform two IRE cases. A true tri-site collaboration. Thankful for this opportunity.

Fantastic to see a full house at the @FocalSociety session with @RSanchez_Salas leading the way #AUA25 🇺🇸 We had a fantastic joint #IPFTSMasterclass2025 in London two weeks ago - here is to ongoing trans-Atlantic collaboration!

@SBoorjian 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

Compelling arguments by @LondonProstate1 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

Thanks @LondonProstate1 and @IP_London for another fantastic meeting! So great to connect with old friends and make new ones.

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

Great talk on #AI in the OR by @abhinav__khanna at @MNUrological 🤔 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!

POSTER 2) Among men undergoing MR fusion prostate biopsy for unilateral PIRADS 3 or 4 lesions, transperineal biopsy resulted in greater disease detection for both targeted fusion and systematic samples. TP biopsy may provide a more thorough pre-treatment assessment for FT.

@MayoUrology with two posters at #FOCAL2024 POSTER 1) Those are active surveillance with PIRADS 5 lesions disease have lower rates of high-grade disease on targeted biopsy, compared to those with no previous prostate cancer diagnosis. @dfrendl

Very interesting opening of afternoon Focal Therapy Session by Dr. Herbert Lepor! Patient Selection with @DerekLomas and Energy Selection with @ALDCAbreu covered A LOT of ground. Are we ready for #PrimeTime?! Respect to @mbrothberg for tying in my favorite coach @DeionSanders.

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

@LanceMynderse from @MayoUrology giving an excellent talk on Complications of Focal Therapy including how to manage and avoid them at @FocalSociety meeting.

@LondonProstate1 @IP_London @imperialurology @FocalSociety @BSoT_UK @Uroweb @EAUrf @EAUYAUrology @eau_yuo @EAU_YAUroTech @USANZUrology @urologytraining Excellent opportunity! Highly recommend!
