About Us
The Focal Therapy Clinic has been established by three founders and world renowned practitioners of focal therapy, Tim Dudderidge, Marc Laniado and Raj Nigam, and recently recently joined by the equally eminent Alan Doherty. They along with other industry experts and treatment providers such as Sonacare and Nuada Medical Services have created The Focal Therapy Clinic to provide a confidential help and advice to patients who should be considering focal therapy as a part of their treatment options.
We are about choice. Your choice in how your prostate cancer is treated. Because radical treatments will impact your urinary and sexual function for the rest of your life, and Active Surveillance will obligate you to long-term patient status — and you need to understand all your treatment options and how they will impact your life.
We offer men with low-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer access to focal therapy and to the clinical innovators and pioneers of this ground-breaking treatment.
We believe that focal therapy is a powerful alternative to both surgery and active surveillance — offering effective cancer control while preserving sexual and urinary function in patients. These are often seen as a trade-off, and we have developed and supported an approach to managing prostate cancer that gives patients.
We were formed by a group of clinicians and clinical service providers who have been at the forefront of advancing focal therapy in the UK for over ten years. Our clinicians have practised focal therapy with great success on hundreds of patients and are major contributors to clinical trials demonstrating its effectiveness.
Our service providers have brought the technology and expertise into hospitals and clinics allowing clinicians to offer focal therapy to their patients. They have been significant innovators in developing technology around precision diagnostics and nuanced treatments for prostate cancer, and have worked for over ten years with the NHS, private hospital groups BMI, Nuffield and Spire and insurers AXA/PPP, BUPA and Aviva to ensure that focal therapy is understood and made available as a treatment option to their patients.
“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.”
