"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. [The sender
of that email
may listen to Dr. Catton's answer in Audio Recordings of this
event under the
Q& A session, the links to which appear further down]
We are pleased to offer Audio
and Presentation slides downloads
of this session.
