His full presentation title is: Genomic Revolution and Robotic Surgery and It’s Impact on Prostate Cancer Care- A Surgeon ‘s Perspective. He describes the three different types of prostate cancer and the differentiation in how treatment is managed. He then gets into the genomic structure and how work is proceeding towards new understanding of the cancer at the cellular level.
