David Woodrum, Radiologist. I did not start my journey at Mayo. My urologist in Minneapolis mentioned Mayo was doing some advanced things and I researched it from there. Found the clinical study on Tulsa Pro, submitted my info, and met Dr. Woodrum by video. I was a great fit for Tulsa and the fact that all other options are still on the table if needed made it a very easy decision for me. My hope is I am helping this procedure become a standard for future cancer patients. The ease of the procedure and the low risk of side effects could be a game changer for many men.

Just a quick correction. A radiation oncologist has training beyond radiology in oncology, hematology and passes an exam in that area. Their main tool is radiation, chemo, or potentially other latest drugs or monoclonal antibodies for example. An interventional radiologist on the other hand does not have that exactly they specialize in procedures using imaging and other tools for intervening into various needs seen for example. Their main tools are something that cuts or burns or freezes while still using the main tools of radiologists such as medical imaging (an MRI for example).
