Treatment of prostate cancer with focused ultrasound
in News from the Turin Clinic
Posted on 03/15/2018
The Clinique Turin is one of the approved centres for FOCAL ONE® treatment. This treatment focuses on the tumour using ultrasound, under general anaesthetic, with the use of image fusion for targeted treatment.
The computer-controlled medical device delivers high-intensity ultrasound via an endorectal probe. The intense heat generated by the focused ultrasound scattered through the rectal wall destroys the tissue inside the targeted area to within a millimetre. Focal One® is a state-of-the-art tool. Non-invasive, this technique preserves the patient's quality of life.
