What is Focal Therapy?
What is focal therapy?
Focal therapy is a targeted treatment approach for prostate cancer that focuses on treating only the specific areas of the prostate affected by cancer, rather than the entire gland. It aims to preserve healthy tissue and minimize side effects associated with more aggressive treatments. Techniques like HIFU, NanoKnife, or laser ablation are used to precisely treat the cancer cells in the targeted region.
Focal therapy is considered for localized cases and offers a potentially less invasive treatment option while maintaining quality of life.
