How UCL revolutionised prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment for men | UCL Medical Sciences

A recording of the UCL Medical Sciences Public Lecture that took place on the 18th November 2020. Watch the lecture and Q&A UCL's Mark Emberton, Professor of Intervention Oncology and Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences.

Event description
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men with around 130 new cases diagnosed in the UK every day and more than 10,000 men a year dying as a result of the disease. Without a reliable test and fool-proof way to diagnose patients, the team at UCL created a new, non-invasive test for prostate cancer that is now used all over the world – saving many lives. In this talk, Mark will tell our remarkable story of how this screening was developed.
