Surgical Grand Rounds - Professor Freddie Hamdy

Clinical Department Research Surgical Grand Rounds

Friday, 14 October 2016, 8am to 9am

Lecture Theatre 1, Academic Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital

‘Prostate cancer and the ProtecT study – The story…’

Prof Freddie Hamdy© Academy of Medical SciencesProfessor Freddie Hamdy is Head of Department at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, and the Chief Investigator of The ProtecT Trial - the first trial to evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and acceptability of three major treatment options: active monitoring, surgery (radical prostatectomy) and radiotherapy for men with localised prostate cancer.  

In September 2016, Professor Hamdy and his team published the first results of their 10 year study and made international headlines. A trial of 1,643 men with small prostate cancers resulted in the same 99% survival rate after a decade for those who had had surgery, radiotherapy or simply monitored the tumour. 

 

All members of the University and NHS clinical staff are welcome.
