UChicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center

At the University of Chicago, we are proud to offer a comprehensive and personalized approach to prostate cancer treatment. Our focal therapy program uses the latest technologies to target cancer precisely while preserving your quality of life. With advanced treatments like high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), irreversible electroporation (IRE), cryoablation, and TULSA Pro, we provide world-class care tailored to your needs.

What is Focal Therapy?

Focal therapy is an innovative, minimally invasive approach to treating prostate cancer. Unlike traditional treatments like surgery or radiation, focal therapy targets only the cancerous areas, leaving healthy prostate tissue intact. This approach minimizes side effects, such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, and offers faster recovery times.

Why Choose Us?

  • Experienced Specialists: Our team includes leaders in prostate cancer care and research.
  • Advanced Technology: We use state-of-the-art equipment to deliver precise and effective treatments.
  • Comprehensive Support: From diagnosis to recovery, we guide you every step of the way.
