A new non-invasive treatment for prostate cancer is the single biggest change in 20 years and can prevent side-effects related to surgery, a new study found.
Researchers from Imperial College London studied the results of over 500 patient given the treatment - named focal therapy - to track its effectiveness.
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer among men in the UK, with around 48,500 new cases every year and traditional treatments come with life changing side effects including sexual dysfunction and incontinence.
Focal therapy uses ultrasound or cryotherapy to specifically target cancer cells in the prostate gland without damaging surrounding tissue.

A football coach who contracted Covid-19 is aiming to complete 2,800 sit-ups throughout February in a bid to help tackle homelessness.
Jonny Pearce, manager of Wisbech Town FC’s walking football team, alongside player Ben Baylis will attempt the challenge to raise funds for homeless charity Crisis.
It is just one of several challenges the pair and Ben’s daughter will do after the club paid for training plans during the second lockdown, and Jonny, who recovered from Covid-19 in December, wants to stay fit this time round.
