Webinar: Role of micro-ultrasound in the diagnosis of prostate cancer

This time I moderated this session online on the use of micro ultrasound in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The presenters were Dr. Pereira, from Bilbao and Dr. López Alcina, from Valencia. Both presented their data and impressions on where this new technology fits in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and the potential role in active surveillance, monitorization of focal treatment and some new other applications that will possible gain force as this technology becomes more widespread.



Dr. Pereira's team was the first in the world to acquire this technology. We at ICUA-Clínica CEMTRO were the second team to use it in Spain and Dr. López Alcina right after us, so it was a very interesting webinar full of first-hand experiences. We have all published our data and we keep studying the data and the results we are getting to better understand how to make a better use of this potentially game changing technology.
