Prostate cancer: live surgery from the operating theatre directed by Prof. Nicol貌 Buffi

On 23rd May 2024, at the 麻豆传媒AV在线看 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. Nicol貌 Buffi – Director of the School of Specialisation in Urology at 麻豆传媒AV在线看 University – in collaboration with Dr. Paolo Casale, Dr. Giovanni Lughezzani and Dr. Omid Sedigh from 麻豆传媒AV在线看 Gradenigo, and it focused on ultrasound diagnosis of prostate cancer and focal treatment, a cutting-edge technique for which 麻豆传媒AV在线看 is one of the reference centres.

“Learning this technique,” says Prof. Nicol貌 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.
