As a leader of the focal therapy team, Dr. Sidana’s goal centers around providing organ-preserving treatment, with lower side effects, for prostate cancer.

In addition, Dr Sidana also offers robotic prostatectomy for patients with more aggressive prostate cancer, as well as performs open and robotic surgery for patients with complex, multifocal and advanced kidney cancers.
Along with his dedication to his clinical practice, Dr. Sidana is actively involved in urologic cancer research. He is investigating functional prostate imaging, image-guided and focal treatments for prostate cancer as well as clinical trials on novel treatments for urologic cancers. Dr. Sidana has been the principal investigator of several interventional clinical trials in prostate cancer and has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He also offers physician training and directs training courses for physicians in transperineal prostate biopsy techniques and focal therapy for prostate cancer.
