Focal therapies such as High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and Nanoknife are cutting edge treatments for prostate cancer that target the cancerous areas with high precision,  leading to a lower risk of incontinence and erectile dysfunction after treatment and a rapid recovery time.

We understand this can be an overwhelming and nerve-wrecking time and starting private prostate cancer treatment can be confusing. Our team is here to help you understand the process, choose the right treatment for you and get you back to living life to the fullest.

What is Focal Therapy and who is it suitable for?

Focal therapy is suitable for men who have medium (intermediate) risk prostate cancer, ideally in one part of the prostate. As it treats only the cancer, and a small area around the cancer, the side effects of treatment are much less than those for traditional prostate cancer surgery or radiotherapy. It requires a careful assessment of the prostate using MRI and biopsy information.

For men who are suitable, it is done as a day surgery procedure. Follow up is similar to being on active surveillance, and includes MRI scans and sometimes biopsy.

It allows some men to continue to have good sexual and urinary function, while treating the cancer. As it’s a small treatment, it can be repeated, and if necessary, surgery or radiotherapy can be used at a later date.

There are a number of different energies used in focal therapy for prostate cancer, including ultrasound (High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound, or HIFU) and electroporation (passing an electrical current across the tumour to kill it). King Edward VII’s hospital is one of the few private hospitals in the UK to offer these treatments.
