"Post-operative Radiotherapy
for Prostate Cancer"
Dr. Charles Catton
An audience
of 65 members, wives and around 10 guests attended this very informative
talk by Dr. Charles Catton. Some guests came from as far
away as Brighton to attend
Dr. Catton's talk, ask question and seek his advise.
Dr. Charles Catton's presentation provided detailed
background information
on prostate cancer, on Radiotherapy and went on to focus on new research
directions and on combining treatments for prostate cancer. The area of
combining
treatments was not only unique and specialized but included leading edge
research
findings and some of the latest techniques thus providing us with much new
information about treatment possibilities previously unknown and
unimaginable.
The talk was followed by a Questions and Answer session
with lots of interesting
questions from the audience. Most queries related to member's particular
condition with Dr. Catton providing his advise and opinion. A question
received
by email was also read out and answered in detail.
We are pleased to offer Audio and Presentation
slides downloads of this session.
