Managing Prostate Cancer Treatment Update
Dr James MacKean

Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia and yet management can sometimes be tricky, courtesy of the number of treatment choices. Here, radiation oncologist, Dr James Mackean will present not only an overview of prostate cancer, its prevalence, diagnosis and investigation but also the options currently available for treatment. In particular, he will detail one of the newest therapies for localised prostate cancer - hypofractionated radiotherapy.
