Description: Mr. Marc Laniado (Consultant Urologist, The Focal Therapy Clinic): I assess PSA, MRI, and biopsy results to determine whether focal therapy is suitable or if whole-gland treatment (surgery/radiotherapy) is necessary. Patient preferences play a key role in decision-making, ensuring a personalized approach to prostate cancer care.

Speaker: Mr. Marc Laniado
Transcript Text:
When I see you in my clinic, I will review all of your diagnostic results, including:
- PSA levels
- MRI scan findings
- Prostate biopsy results
How I Make a Treatment Decision:
I integrate all of these results to:
1. Categorize your cancer's risk level.
2. Determine whether your tumor is suitable for focal therapy.
3. Decide if the cancer is better treated with whole-gland options like surgery or radiotherapy.
The Importance of Patient Preferences:
Your personal priorities are essential in choosing the right treatment. I will ask:
- Do you prioritize cancer cure above all else?
- Are you willing to trade a small amount of certainty for a better quality of life?
- Is preserving erections, bladder control, and avoiding bowel problems important to you?
By understanding both the medical data and your personal values, we can find the best treatment approach for your specific needs.

Description: Mr. Marc Laniado (Consultant Urologist, The Focal Therapy Clinic): MRI fusion improves focal therapy accuracy, ensuring over 90% of men are cancer-free at one year. Globally, 75–80% of men avoid radical treatment for 6–10 years post-focal therapy, making it an effective and minimally invasive option for prostate cancer.

Speaker: Mr. Marc Laniado
Transcript Text:
At The Focal Therapy Clinic, we perform focal therapy using MRI fusion, which significantly improves treatment accuracy.
Why MRI Fusion Matters:
- We use real-time MRI guidance during treatment to precisely target the cancer.
- This ensures we treat the cancerous area and a surrounding margin, reducing the risk of recurrence.
- As a result, our one-year success rates are excellent—over 90% of men are cancer-free based on MRI and PSA criteria.
Long-Term Success of Focal Therapy:
- Looking at global data, focal therapy (often without MRI fusion) has been shown to delay or avoid radical treatment.
- 75–80% of men remain free from needing surgery or radiotherapy for 6–10 years after treatment.
- This means that 4 out of 5 men successfully avoid radical treatment while maintaining cancer control.
These strong results highlight the effectiveness of MRI-guided focal therapy in providing precise, minimally invasive treatment with excellent long-term outcomes.

Description: Mr. Marc Laniado (Consultant Urologist, The Focal Therapy Clinic): The type of focal therapy depends on tumor location. HIFU is used for tumors at the back of the prostate, while NanoKnife or cryotherapy are preferred for tumors at the front. Outcomes and side effects are similar across techniques, and the choice depends on patient suitability and tumor characteristics.
Key Information: Treatment selection based on tumor location (HIFU for back, NanoKnife/cryotherapy for front)
Transcript Available: Yes
Video 4 Complete Transcript
Speaker: Mr Marc Laniado
Transcript Text:
When deciding which type of focal therapy to use, the main factor is tumor location.
- Tumors at the back of the prostate, near the rectum, are typically treated with HIFU.
- Tumors at the front of the prostate are usually treated with NanoKnife or cryotherapy.
The choice of treatment is not based on differences in effectiveness or side effects, as all these focal therapies offer similar cancer control and safety profiles. Instead, the decision is driven by the ability to accurately deliver the treatment energy to the tumor's location.
It's all about selecting the right technology for the specific position of the tumor within the prostate.
Professional Qualifications Explained (Patient-Friendly)
What does "Mr" mean instead of "Dr"?
In the UK, surgeons use the title "Mr" (or "Miss/Mrs/Ms" for female surgeons) rather than "Dr". This is a tradition dating back centuries and is actually a mark of seniority - it indicates that Mr Laniado has completed his medical degree AND specialized surgical training to become a Consultant Surgeon.
What is MB BS?
MB BS stands for "Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery" - this is the medical degree awarded in the UK (equivalent to MD in other countries). Mr Laniado obtained this from Guy's Hospital Medical School in 1989, qualifying him as a medical doctor.
What is FRCS (Urol)?
FRCS (Urol) stands for "Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Urology". This is a specialist qualification that shows Mr Laniado has completed rigorous training and examinations in urological surgery. He completed this during his West London Urology Specialist Registrar Rotation from 1996-2002. This is one of the highest qualifications in urology in the UK.
What is an MD in Prostate Cancer Research?
MD stands for "Doctor of Medicine" - this is a research doctorate (similar to a PhD but for medical professionals). Mr Laniado was awarded his MD in 2001 for his research specifically focused on prostate cancer, demonstrating his expertise and academic contribution to the field beyond clinical practice.
What is FEBU?
FEBU stands for "Fellow of the European Board of Urology". This is a prestigious European qualification that Mr Laniado obtained in 2002, demonstrating his expertise is recognized not just in the UK but across Europe. This shows he meets the highest European standards in urological surgery.
What is GMC Registration?
The GMC (General Medical Council) is the regulatory body for doctors in the UK. Mr Laniado's GMC number (3343931) confirms he is licensed to practice medicine in the UK and is subject to the GMC's strict professional standards and ethical guidelines. All practicing doctors in the UK must be GMC-registered.

- American Urological Association (AUA): The premier professional organization for urologists in the United States, showing international recognition
- British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS): The UK's main professional body for urological surgeons
- European Association of Urology (EAU): Europe's leading urology association
