【 摘 要 】

The Third International Symposium on Focal Therapy and Imaging of Prostate and Kidney Cancer explored new frontiers in imaging and focal therapy (FT) for prostate and kidney cancer. It has become an annual event for all researchers using an interdisciplinary approach to develop further the concept of FT. A cadre of clinicians and scientists gathered that included approximately 200 experts in prostate and kidney imaging and urologic pathology, basic scientists and molecular biologists, medical and radiation oncologists, urologists, and industry leaders. Presentations, didactic lectures, and panel discussions comprised this three-day meeting, which also included four poster sessions and video presentations. The program featured experts who provided insight into image-guided diagnosis and minimally invasive focal, organ-preserving treatment for patients with prostate and kidney cancer.
