Stop Blind Biopsies: Near-Perfect Prostate Cancer Accuracy with Dr. Mark Emberton - EP 170

Is the biopsy needle more dangerous than the cancer itself? In this episode, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Mark Emberton, Dean of Medical Sciences at UCL and a global leader in urologic oncology. We dive deep into the "See and Treat" revolution—a massive shift in prostate cancer care that moves away from "blind" invasive biopsies toward precision imaging like MRI and PSMA PET scans. Dr. Emberton explains why many prostate cancers found through traditional methods are "biological non-events" that never needed treatment, and how younger men (ages 40-50) can better navigate their diagnosis. We also discuss the future of focal therapy, the role of AI in radiology, and the groundbreaking "Transform" study that aims to change prostate screening forever. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: ✅ Why a normal MRI (PI-RADS 1-2) might mean you can skip the biopsy entirely. ✅ The difference between "visible" tumors on imaging vs. microscopic disease. ✅ How PSA density acts as the crucial "tie-breaker" for indeterminate results. ✅ The future of "See and Treat": Targeting lesions while avoiding surgery side effects. ✅ Why tumor location (Anterior vs. Posterior) changes your treatment options. ✅ How AI and new magnets are making MRI screening cheaper and faster. 🕒 EPISODE TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – The dangers of the biopsy needle 02:45 – Innovation in urologic oncology 06:45 – Rising cancer rates in younger men 10:15 – How MRI prevents unnecessary biopsies 12:30 – The PI-RADS "Traffic Light" system 13:45 – PSA Density: The diagnostic tie-breaker 16:30 – Diagnosing without a biopsy 21:00 – AI's role in faster, cheaper MRIs 26:45 – Visible vs. Invisible Cancer: What matters? 35:30 – The "Transform" Study & global screening 42:45 – PSMA PET Scans: Pre-biopsy utility 48:00 – Focal Therapy: Saving the "clockwork" 56:45 – Why tumor location (Anterior) matters 58:30 – Lifestyle and the "Teachable Moment" 01:03:30 – Final advice for patients and policy Connect with Dr. Mark Emberton: UCL Profile: https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/mark-emberton 🌱 Partner Offers ProLon 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet → https://bit.ly/3TVehAxAG1 by Athletic Greens → https://bit.ly/3mA2tVV 💪 Exclusive Membership Unlock curated transcripts, detailed show notes, expert resources, and perks.Join here → https://drgeo.com/membership 📌 Follow and Connect 📺 YouTube → Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast — / @drgeoprostatepodcast 🎧 All Episodes → https://dr-geo-prostate-podcast.capti... 📸 Instagram → https://bit.ly/DRGEO-INSTA-YT 📘 Facebook → https://bit.ly/POD-FB-DrGeo 💼 LinkedIn → https://bit.ly/DRGEO-LINKEDIN-YT 🛒 Supplements → XY Wellness https://bit.ly/3uJPC7Z | Mr. Happy https://bit.ly/3TE7tWE 🌐 DrGeo.com Website → https://bit.ly/43khht0 📣 Hashtags #DrGeoProstatePodcast #ProstateCancer #ProstateHealth #MensHealth #IntegrativeUrology #ProstateCancer #MensHealth #Urology #MRIScreening #FocalTherapy #PSA #DrMarkEmberton #DrGeo ⚠️ Disclaimer This video is for educational purposes only and not medical advice.
