The future of prostate cancer treatment...

What is focal therapy?


OVERVIEW

Why choose focal therapy?

Focal therapy is a new, advanced treatment for prostate cancer that targets only the cancer — not the whole prostate. It uses a precise technique called High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to destroy cancerous cells, while leaving healthy surrounding tissue untouched. Focal therapy combines MRI and biopsy data with real-time ultrasound imaging to pinpoint the exact location of prostate cancer. Using that data, a specialist guides focused ultrasound energy directly to the tumor — heating and destroying it, without a single incision.

Minimally Invasive

No surgery or radiation, meaning a faster recovery and a significantly reduced risk of incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

Highly Accurate

Only targets cancerous cells, preserving the nerves, bladder and surrounding structures.

Repeatable

If needed, focal therapy can be repeated and does not rule out future treatment options.

ELIGIBILITY

Who is focal therapy for?

Research shows that around 40% of newly diagnosed men with prostate cancer could benefit from focal therapy. That’s over 12,000 men a year in the UK — yet fewer than 1,000 currently receive it. Focal therapy is ideal for:

  • Men with localised prostate cancer (cancer that hasn't spread)
  • Those with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer
  • Men who want to preserve sexual function and bladder control
  • Men on active surveillance looking for a proactive step forward
