  • Prostate Focal Therapy

    The goal of prostate focal therapy is long-term cancer control with minimal treatment side effects. For the right patients focal therapy can be an effective middle ground. I offer select patients three focal therapy options: Cryotherapy, HIFU and MRI-Guided Prostate Laser Ablation.

Focal

  • Focal Therapy For Prostate Cancer

    Focal (or targeted) therapy is an emerging new treatment option for appropriate patients with low-risk prostate cancer. The goal of focal therapy is to achieve long-term cancer control without the side effects of a total gland treatment. In my practice I use three different methods to focally destroy cancerous prostate tissue: cryotherapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and MRI guided laser ablation. For the right patients focal therapy can be an effective 'middle ground' between watchful waiting (or active surveillance) and total gland treatment.

  • Three Conditions for Focal Prostate Cancer Therapy

    As a pioneer in minimally invasive prostate cancer I'm often asked if focal therapy is a rational option for men with prostate cancer. My answer is yes provided three important conditions are carefully considered. 


    1. First, there must be confirmation that a patient's prostate cancer is suitable for targeted treatment based on a comprehensive and intensive diagnostic protocol.
    2. Next, the procedure must be performed by a physician with proven skills and broad experience in using different treatment methods for focal therapy.
    3. Finally, the patient must be fully aware of the risks and be willing to comply with a well designed treatment follow up plan.

    Using Fusion To Create A Smarter Prostate Biopsy

    By Stephen Scionti, MD

    A few years ago I started working with a new device named Artemis, named for the ancient Greek goddess of hunting. This technological breakthrough provided 3D advanced ultrasound technology that helped me to better plan, navigate, and record each prostate biopsy.
