Nitin Yerram, MD, of Hackensack Meridian Health, and David Ambinder, MD, of New York Medical College/Westchester Medical Center, sit down to discuss the history focal therapy, how to build a focal therapy program, measurements for success, and training urologists in the modern day to administer the minimally invasive treatment.

In the third part of their discussion, Dr. Yerram describes his post-HIFU surveillance protocol—regular PSA checks, MRI, and biopsies at defined intervals—and shares that functional outcomes like erectile dysfunction and incontinence are generally better than with radical therapies, while oncologic control is improving with techniques like a second ablation pass.
