Focal Therapy Treatments

During the procedure:

1. A probe is inserted into the rectum to deliver ultrasound waves directly to the prostate.
2. The ultrasound waves heat and destroy cancer cells with pinpoint accuracy.
3. Real-time imaging ensures that only the cancerous areas are treated.

• Minimally invasive: No surgery, no radiation.
• Preserves function: Reduces the risk of side effects like incontinence or erectile dysfunction.
• Quick recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within days.

HIFU is ideal for men with:

• Localized prostate cancer confined to the prostate.
• Early-stage cancer or recurrent cancer after prior treatments.

1. Thin probes are inserted into the prostate near the cancerous tissue.
2. Short, high-voltage electrical pulses are delivered to the cancer cells.
3. These pulses disrupt the cell membranes, causing the cancer cells to die while sparing healthy tissue.

• Non-thermal: Unlike other treatments, IRE does not use heat, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding structures.
• Precise: Perfect for treating tumors near sensitive areas like nerves or blood vessels.
• Minimally invasive: Performed under general anesthesia, with a quick recovery.

IRE is suited for men with:

• Localized prostate cancer in challenging locations.
• A preference for non-thermal, targeted treatments.

1. Small needles are inserted into the prostate.
2. A cooling agent is circulated through the needles, freezing the cancer cells.
3. The frozen cells are thawed, and the process is repeated to ensure the cancer is destroyed.

• Targeted treatment: Only affects the cancerous tissue.
• Quick recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a week.
• Repeatable: Can be used for recurrent prostate cancer.

• Men with localized or recurrent prostate cancer.
• Those seeking an effective, minimally invasive option.

1. A special ultrasound probe is inserted into the urethra.
2. Real-time MRI imaging maps the prostate and cancerous areas.
3. Ultrasound energy ablates the cancerous tissue while sparing healthy areas.

• Real-time precision: MRI guidance ensures the treatment is accurate and tailored.
• Minimally invasive: Quick recovery with fewer side effects.
• Customizable: Treatment is adjusted to each patient’s unique anatomy and cancer location.

• Men with localized prostate cancer.
• Those seeking a highly precise, MRI-guided treatment.

• Long-term outcomes: Investigating the durability of focal therapy in controlling cancer while preserving quality of life.
• Combination approaches: Exploring how focal therapy can be integrated with other treatments, such as systemic therapies or immunotherapy, for better results.
• Advanced imaging techniques: Developing and evaluating imaging technologies to enhance accuracy in identifying, treating and following cancerous areas.
• Biomarker studies: Identifying biological markers that can help predict which patients will benefit most from focal therapy.

• Pioneering leadership: Our experts, including Dr. Abhinav Sidana, are actively shaping the future of prostate cancer treatment through research and collaboration.
• State-of-the-art facilities: Access to advanced imaging, robotics, and treatment platforms.
• Patient-centered approach: All studies are designed with patient safety, comfort, and long-term well-being in mind.
