Invariably old world surgery as well. I had RALP at Southmead a year ago and recovery was remarkably quick.
Also HIFU was in its infancy when I went on active surveillance in 2019.
Hopefully the recommendations of the TRANSFORM study will be acted on quickly.

For information, X as a Sh sound in Spanish:
In some place names derived from pre-Columbian languages, the X is still pronounced as /sh/, as in Xola (/shóla/), Xicalango (/shicalángo/) and Xitter (/Shitter/).

Please do. Things took a turn for the worse when I ditched my Thornton slide rule for the Sinclair Scientific I bought for £49.95 in 1974. Gone were the days of mental rough order of magnitude estimates to make sure the decimal point was in the right place.
