Focal therapy is a minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment that targets only the cancerous portion of the prostate while preserving healthy tissue. Using technologies like high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), this approach delivers precise energy to destroy tumors without removing the entire prostate gland, helping reduce the risk of long-term side effects.

In this video, Dr. Mark Dall’Era, chair of the Department of Urologic Surgery at UC Davis Health, explains how focal therapy works and which prostate cancer patients may be candidates for this treatment. Learn how HIFU is performed, what to expect during recovery, and why this targeted approach is becoming an important option for some men. Watch the full video to learn more about benefits, risks, and eligibility.
