What Is Focal One HIFU Treatment?
Focal One High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an advanced, noninvasive treatment for localized prostate cancer that uses focused ultrasound waves to precisely destroy cancerous tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy structures. This technology offers a significant advantage over traditional therapies by minimizing side effects and maintaining patients' quality of life. At Atlanta Cosmetic Urology in Atlanta, GA, board-certified urologist Dr. Tariq Hakky employs the Focal One HIFU system to provide personalized patient care. Dr. Hakky, known for his expertise in male reproductive medicine and cosmetic urology, integrates this cutting-edge technology to offer effective, minimally invasive treatment options for prostate cancer.
How Does Focal One HIFU Treatment Work?
When you come into Atlanta Cosmetic Urology for Focal One HIFU treatment, you'll begin with a comprehensive evaluation and advanced imaging to accurately map the prostate and pinpoint the area requiring treatment. This noninvasive procedure uses high-intensity focused ultrasound waves to precisely heat and destroy cancerous tissue while sparing the surrounding healthy structures. Dr. Tariq Hakky and his team utilize real-time MRI, ultrasound, and 3D mapping to tailor the procedure to your unique anatomy and cancer profile. The treatment is performed under anesthesia, typically takes only a few hours, and involves no surgical incisions. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities soon after, making it an efficient and effective option for treating localized prostate cancer. The patient will need to have the catheter in for 1 week, PSA checks every quarter, and a possible prostate biopsy after one year with MRI.
