Dr. Ali Kasraeian from Kasraeian Urology is the first in the Jacksonville, Florida area to offer a new minimally invasive treatment called Focal Therapy that precisely targets and destroys prostate cancer tumors. This less-invasive therapy has fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments.

Why it matters

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men after skin cancer, and this new Focal Therapy approach provides a targeted treatment option that can be more effective and have fewer negative impacts on patients' quality of life.

The details

Focal Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that precisely targets and destroys prostate cancer tumors, rather than treating the entire prostate gland. This allows for a more targeted approach that can be more effective while reducing side effects like incontinence and erectile dysfunction that are common with traditional prostate cancer treatments.
