Introduction to Mr Alan Doherty
Mr Doherty’s commitment to using minimally invasive techniques based upon precision diagnostics where appropriate includes all major specialties in urological surgery, including Laparoscopic Cystectomy (bladder removal) and Laparoscopic Nephrectomy (kidney removal), both of which are only performed by a small number of UK surgeons. He has published extensively on prostate cancer, including articles in the Lancet.
Alan believes that Focal Therapy is a valuable option for the care of early prostate cancer and that it may be preferable to the Active Surveillance protocol for some men.
Mr Doherty was recently voted one of the UK’s top ten prostate cancer surgeons in a poll of urologists for the Daily Mail.
You can hear Alan here in the fourth of our audio series, where he discusses the advances in imaging and radiology that now make Focal Therapy a preferable treatment to Active Surveillance.
