A groundbreaking trial for a prostate cancer treatment with fewer side-effects has launched in the UK, researchers have said.Backed by the Government-funded National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the trial will examine whether Aquablation - a therapy using robotics, AI and real-time imaging - works as well or better than traditional surgery, known as radical prostatectomy.With radical prostatectomy, the entire prostate gland is removed in a bid to cure men of prostate cancer.
