What makes the Focalyx procedure feasible in a clinic setting?
Focalyx is a minimally invasive treatment that targets only the cancerous areas of the prostate using MRI–ultrasound fusion guidance, much like a GPS. Because it avoids removing the entire gland, the procedure can be performed under local or light sedation in an outpatient clinic—without the need for an operating room or lengthy hospitalization. Patients typically return home the same day, enjoy a quicker recovery, and continue follow-up care through simple, in-clinic active surveillance visits.
It’s like removing a cavity!
How long does the procedure typically take?
60-90 minutes based on the patient’s tumor size and location
How does the in-office model reduce patient burden?
