Focal One

With a recent diagnosis of prostate cancer and a PSA that was continuing to rise, John Herman wanted to avoid surgery and radiation, as well as their potential debilitating side effects. "Herman was relieved there was an alternate treatment that was right for him. He says he didn’t have to think too long before he said to Dr. Baccala, 'Let’s do it.'” John Herman was treated with Focal One Robotic Focal HIFU at Lehigh Valley Health Network with Angelo Baccala, MD FACS MBA. Following his treatment through routine checkups, Dr. Baccala stated, "His MRI showed that the lesions we treated are gone.” Learn more about John's inspirational story by visiting Lehigh Valley's post below. #Cancer | #ProstateCancer | #Urology | #RoboticSurgery | #MedTech

The #FOCAL2024 course was a success! Thank you to our clinician experts who joined us at the Focal One booth this year. Andre Abreu, MD and Abhinav Sidana, MD led engaging presentions on Focal One Robotic HIFU and 3D Biopsy Guided HIFU Ablation. Amir Lebastchi, MD and Paul Dato, MD conducted impactful Hands-On Courses with Focal One and ExactVu Micro-Ultrasound Prostate Imaging. #Cancer | #ProstateCancer | #Urology | #RoboticSurgery | #MedTech | Exact Imaging

Great insight from Wayne Brisbane, MD from UCLA Health on the added value of Avenda Health Unfold AI technology to the Focal One procedure for Prostate Cancer patients: "It takes on all this information and generates a 3-dimensional map, and you can overlay that map onto the [Focal One] robotic HIFU device. And then the machine's really doing everything for you. They're predicting the extent of the tumor, and then you press "go," and they're killing the tumor. It takes a lot of the variability out of this..." #Cancer | #ProstateCancer | #Urology | #RoboticSurgery | #MedTech | #AI

Listen to Prostate cancer survivor, Ken Betts, who shares his inspiring story from diagnosis to treatment with Focal One Robotic HIFU in The University of Kansas Health Systems' Morning Medical Update.   Thank you to leading Urologic Oncologist, William Parker, MD for his clear explanation about Prostate Cancer and how he used the latest non-invasive, nonsurgical option, Focal One, to treat Ken's prostate.   The University of Kansas Department of Urology is the first to offer Focal One Robotic HIFU, a non-invasive, nonsurgical option for prostate treatment in the state of Kansas. #Cancer | #ProstateCancer | #Urology | #RoboticSurgery | #MedTech

Focal One is proud to be a Gold Sponsor at the #FOCAL2024 Frontiers in Oncologic Prostate Care and Ablative Local Therapy Course. Join Andre Abreu, MD, focal therapy expert at Keck Medicine of USC, for a Semi-Live Focal One Robotic HIFU Procedure showcasing 3D Biopsy Map Fusion to guide the Robotic Focal Ablation on Saturday, October 19 at 12:30 pm.   You can also experience Focal One Robotic HIFU and ExactVu 29 MHz Micro-Ultrasound with Hands-On Simulations at the Focal One Booth everyday during exhibit hours.   #Cancer | #ProstateCancer | #Urology | #RoboticSurgery | #MedTech | Exact Imaging

"It's designed to be minimally invasive. I really didn't have any types of complications. There was no pain, bleeding, or urinary problems of any kind. I couldn't have been more pleased."   As Prostate Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, we'd like to highlight and thank Prisma Health patient, Bob Woods, for sharing his prostate cancer story. From getting regular screenings, to diagnosis, Bob Woods ended up being treated with Focal One Robotic HIFU, a non-invasive, nonsurgical option for prostate treatment. #Cancer | #ProstateCancer | #Urology | #MedTech | #PCAM

“Focal One revolutionized focal therapy with HIFU for prostate cancer.” “…it allowed you to use the MRI, and specially mark out your treatment planes with precise skill. This brought better results and less side effects for patients. It shortened the learning curve and offered faster surgeries." - Jennifer Linehan, MD For more information about Robotic Focal HIFU at Saint John's Cancer Institute (formerly John Wayne Cancer Institute) at Providence, visit https://shorturl.at/xsoZG. #Cancer | #ProstateCancer | #Urology | #MedTech | #PCAM

"I would encourage men to get screened on a regular basis so that if cancer should be present, hopefully it’s caught early and minimally invasive options are an option for treatment with less potential side-effects." John Bellanti was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was treated with Focal One Robotic HIFU at Henry Ford Health.
