"We are pleased to have been featured in this very prestigious and highly specialized symposium on focal imaging and therapy that attracts urology thought leaders from around the world," said Marc Oczachowski, Chief Executive Officer of EDAP. "This annual gathering is the most important and referenced event for focal therapy in urology disorders, a rapidly growing modality for the treatment of prostate and kidney cancer, and we were extremely pleased to see the prominent positioning of HIFU in addressing this focal therapy strategy. As a recognized leader in the use of targeted ultrasound for this and possibly other indications in development, we have participated at this symposium since its inception and will continue to do so in the future."
This year’s gathering featured several presentations highlighting the Focal One technology and positive results that the process delivers, including presentations by Dr. Rafael Sanchez-Salas, MD, Department of Urology, L’Institut Mutualiste Montsouris, Université Paris Descartes, Paris, France. Dr. Sanchez-Salas is a highly regarded Robotic Urologist Surgeon and long-time champion of EDAP’s Focal Therapy technologies.
EDAP will provide a detailed commercial and clinical update during the company’s upcoming fourth quarter 2019 results conference call.
