Focal therapies are types of treatment for localized prostate cancer that target only the area of your prostate where the tumor is located. The tumor must be confined to your prostate (usually only on one side) without spreading to other tissue or organs around your prostate. Each type of focal therapy uses an energy source (like heat, cold or electric shock) to destroy tumor cells.
The goal of focal therapy is to destroy cancerous cells while leaving as much healthy tissue as possible, minimizing side effects and complications. It&#;s an alternative treatment to surgery or radiation, which treats the entire prostate, and active surveillance, where your provider periodically monitors and tests the tumor for signs of spreading. If you have favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PSA between 10 and 20, grade 2 or 3, and less than 50% of biopsies are positive), focal therapy is a potential middle ground between active surveillance and surgery or radiation.
Types of focal therapy include:
Focal therapy treats cancer that has a low risk of spreading and is completely contained (localized) in your prostate. Ideally, the tumor is also not near your urinary sphincter (muscle that controls when pee is released from your bladder) or urethra (the tube that drains pee out of your body).
People with intermediate-risk prostate cancer are the best candidates for focal therapy. Low-risk cancers are better managed with active surveillance and high-risk cancers are better treated with whole-gland therapies (like surgery or radiation).
