Precision Treatment for Prostate Cancer

The Focal Therapy Clinic has been established by three of the leading practitioners of prostate cancer focal therapy in the world, Tim Dudderidge, Marc Laniado and Raj Nigam, and recently joined by the equally eminent Alan Doherty. They along with other industry experts have created The Focal Therapy Clinic to provide confidential help, advice and awareness to patients who should be considering focal therapy as a part of their prostate cancer treatment options.

Prostate cancer tended to be a disease that was feared by many men, as it used to be common to diagnose it at a very late stage. Now it is more commonly diagnosed early, and as such there are many new treatments available that offer far fewer side effects. In some cases, prostate cancer can be left untreated under active surveillance, but in many cases it will require some form of intervention. The earlier prostate cancer is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat.

A new audio series brought to you by The Focal Therapy Clinic, where our host, Clare Delmar, explores some issues facing men diagnosed with prostate cancer that are little known, less understood and almost never talked about. See all episodes here.

If you are anxious about the effect prostate surgery or radiotherapy will have on your sexual and urinary function, or the on-going commitment and worry of Active Surveillance, HIFU Focal Therapy is a treatment option you should consider.

Focal Therapy is a general term for non-invasive techniques such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). It is used for destroying small tumours inside the prostate while leaving the remaining gland intact.

“Where appropriate Focal Therapy provides effective cancer control with minimal impact upon sexual potency or urinary continence.”
Mr Mark Laniado Consultant and Prostate Cancer Lead, Wexham Park Hospital, Berkshire

HIFU Patient Benefits

“For men who have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer there is tremendous hope that they will be able to live out their disease with fewer problems than their fathers or grandfathers had in the past.”
Mr Mark Laniado Consultant and Prostate Cancer Lead, Wexham Park Hospital, Berkshire

HIFU Focal Therapy is an effective, non-invasive set of treatments for men with early-stage localised prostate cancer. It has been pioneered and advanced in the UK by clinicians committed to offering men precision treatment options that effectively controls their cancer and preserves their quality of life.
Other types of focal therapy include cryotherapy and brachytherapy. The Focal Therapy Clinic has been created by world-leading Consultant Urological Surgeons and industry experts in focal therapy with the sole aim of providing confidential help and advice to consider this as a positive and viable treatment option.

“HIFU is something people need to be aware of – I believe this treatment should be more widely available and more widely promoted. It wasn’t something suggested to me as a possibility by my urologist and I actually raised it myself. I would recommend HIFU and in fact have recommended it to others.”
