Annually throughout the UK men’s
prostate cancer claims 10,000 lives, with up to 32,000 new cases diagnosed. They are rare in men under 50, but the condition
becomes more pronounced and common with age.
In December 2003 the prostate cancer charity GLAZE (Green Light Laser Equipment) was founded and has made significant headway
achieving some remarkable milestones in its young history.
Glaze has been significant
in funding the Green Light Laser equipment for Princess of Wales Hospital Centre of Excellence. Now an eminent teaching unit,
one of only three in Europe, headed by Andrew Thomas.
Cryotherapy was first performed In Wales by Neil Fenn, Consultant Urological Surgeon at Morriston Hospital, Swansea, he
has used cryotherapy to treat kidney cancer via laparoscopic (key hole) surgery. Andrew Thomas and Neil Fenn have performed
the first 10 cases of cryotherapy for prostate cancer in Swansea in 2008. With the creation of a new amalgamated ABM University
NHS Trust, cryotherapy for prostate cancer will now be relocated to the Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend and be led by Andrew
Thomas. |
