What You Need To Know

  • Hackensack University Medical Center’s Department of Urology now offers Focal One, an advanced robotic high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system that precisely destroys prostate lesions in patients with localized prostate cancer.
  • The new treatment minimizes the risk of side effects such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

The Next Frontier in Prostate Cancer Treatment

The addition of Focal One builds on the Department of Urology’s reputation for state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary care for urologic cancers. “I have patients who come to me for second and third opinions who are not aware that focal therapy is an option,” said Hackensack University Medical Center urologist Kevin Basralian, M.D., who has traveled worldwide to perform HIFU procedures for prostate cancer for the past 15 years, making him one of the premier physicians in New Jersey at performing HIFU procedures. “The treatment is unparalleled," he said. "We want our patients to have access to the therapies that provide them with the best possible outcomes after prostate cancer treatment."
