Dr Phillip Stricker

Prof Stricker presented MRI and focal therapy results at the recent American Urological Association Annual Meeting. MRI was the most topical area at this meeting. His results confirmed the accuracy of multiparametric MRI of the prostate in highly experienced hands.

Prof Stricker was invited to be the visiting professor at the University Hospitals Case Medical Centre, Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio for 2105.

Whilst there he spoke about focal therapy, magnetic resonance imaging, robotic prostate surgery and his extensive experience in transperineal biopsy. The talks were very well received by the faculty and the residents and has instigated an ongoing collaboration between Case Western and St Vincent's.

Prof Stricker, the chief investigator on the current Active Surveillance trial, said that the trial is running extremely well and accruing valuable data rapidly. 

For distinguished service to medicine and medical research, as a leading urologist, a robotic surgery pioneer, a teacher and mentor, and as an advocate for prostate cancer awareness.
