Medical advances now allow individualizing the management of prostate cancer. Treatment options range from active surveillance (delay treatment) to radical surgery (the removal of the prostate and lymph nodes).
Today, there are focal treatments for selected cases, where only the part of the diseased tissue is treated, preserving the healthy tissue. Known as Focal Therapy, this can be done with different types of energy.
Your doctor will inform you about the different available treatments. It is important that you inquire all the options and talk to your family about the different possibilities to make sure that you select the most appropriate option for you and your lifestyle.
Focalyx® Tx is a focal treatment for prostate cancer, which must be preceded by a biopsy supported by image fusion techniques (Focalyx® Bx) and the multi parametric magnetic resonance (Focalyx® Dx).
