What is focal therapy?

Focal therapy is a minimally invasive treatment indicated for localized prostate cancer. This procedure is based on treating only the areas of the prostate affected by the tumor, preserving the surrounding healthy tissue and thus reducing the impact of the treatment. In its modality with Focal One, uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to destroy exclusively the tumor tissue with maximum precision, offering an advanced, personalized, and highly selective technological alternative. Its main benefit is providing a treatment non-invasive, with maximum therapeutic precision, functional preservation and one very fast recovery, minimizing the side effects associated with more extensive treatments.

“Focal One therapy is positioned as one of the most innovative and distinctive technologies at Urovinci for the treatment of prostate cancer, with a near-zero rate of erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.”

In what procedures is it indicated?

Prostate cancer

Focal therapy is indicated for patients with localized prostate cancer in early or low-risk stages. Its minimally invasive approach allows for precise intervention, aimed at preserving prostate function and minimizing damage to healthy tissue.

Benefits of focal therapy

Non-invasive treatment

Focal One (HIFU) therapy allows for the treatment of prostate cancer without the need for open surgery, using high-precision ultrasound. This reduces the invasiveness of the procedure and allows for a highly selective approach to the tumor.

Maximum therapeutic precision

Thanks to the Focal One system, focused ultrasound acts exclusively on the tumor tissue, achieving precise destruction of the affected area and preserving the rest of the prostate with great accuracy.

Functional preservation and safety

This treatment stands out for its ability to preserve prostate function, with a lower risk of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, with the rate of both being close to zero, making it a highly safe option in selected cases.

Very fast recovery

As a localized and minimally invasive treatment, focal therapy promotes a very rapid recovery, with a low rate of complications and less impact on the patient's daily life, allowing for an earlier return to work.
