A more precise approach to prostate cancer treatment
For select men with localized prostate cancer, advanced focal therapies may treat the cancer while preserving more of what matters most. Jurige Prostate Center is one of the few practices in the country dedicated to these precision-based approaches.
What is focal therapy?
The focal therapy difference
Historically, prostate cancer treatment often meant treating the entire prostate. Focal therapy was developed to offer a more precise option for appropriately selected men—targeting the area of concern while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Maintain bladder control*
Treatment where the muscle behind continence is left alone wherever the case allows.
Maintain sex life*
Treatment designed to spare the nerves behind sexual function.
Maintain options*
Surgery and radiation remain available if they are ever needed.
Targets affected area
Focal therapy
Focal therapy targets the smallest area necessary to treat the cancer, sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. The nerves and muscles that control urination and erections are left alone wherever they can be. Precise treatment, with as much of the prostate preserved as the case allows.
Targets whole glanD
Traditional therapy
Whole gland treatment, surgery or radiation, treats the entire prostate. For advanced cancer it can be the only choice. But the cost is high. Treating the whole gland often leaves men with permanent incontinence and sexual dysfunction, even when the cancer itself was small and contained.
The three steps we take before any procedure is matched
Every man's case is different. The location of the cancer, the imaging, the biopsy, the personal priorities, all of it shapes the right path forward. Dr. Jurige reviews each case personally and determines the right approach before any procedure enters the conversation.
Map the disease
Review PSA, MRI, biopsy, risk level, and prior treatment history.
Match procedure
Compare focal options based on what needs to be treated and what needs to be protected.
Establish a plan
Understand the procedure, follow-up, cost, and realistic expectations.
