Evaluation of Focal Treatments of Localized Prostate Cancers With High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Using the Focal One® Device

Focal High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for localized prostate cancer (maximum two foci). HIFU treatment is using high energy ultrasound focused at the focal point to achieve precise tissue destruction. This mini-invasive therapy is using an endo-rectal approach to deliver the treatment, using a probe composed of a combined imaging and treatment transducer. The treatment is monitored by real-time ultrasound. The treatment planning is performed by the urologist, contouring the area to be treated (MRI target + security margins around the tumor) and the treatment phase is automatically performed by the robotic device.
