Our history and mission
At The Focal Therapy Clinic we strongly believe that focal therapy should be the standard of care for people with early stage, low grade prostate cancer. However, we know that different things matter to different people. That’s why we aim to help people with prostate cancer understand their treatment options and make the best decision for them.
Our mission is to make focal therapy available as widely as possible.
History of The Focal Therapy Clinic
Brian Lynch set up The Focal Therapy Clinic after many years of experience working in specialist imaging for prostate cancer. He worked with leading hospitals around the UK to bring imaging-led diagnostics to the patients that need them.
He noticed that clinical trials were demonstrating the effectiveness of focal therapy, but once they finished, the message wasn’t getting out to the people that needed it. As such, few hospitals offered focal therapy – this is still the case, years later.
He was inspired to bring together an expert community of clinical staff, in surgery, oncology and radiology, who saw the opportunities focal therapy offered to bring their patients better outcomes with fewer side effects. The Focal Therapy Clinic now offers focal therapy at 7 hospital centres around the UK and has seen thousands of patients who are interested in effective prostate cancer treatment that preserves their quality of life.
