Why Choose Focalyx®?
Focalyx® is a cutting-edge procedure created by Dr. Fernando Bianco, MD, Urologist, and Oncologist with over 20 years of experience in major US hospitals. It eradicates cancer without removing the prostate, using state-of-the-art technology, the Focalyx Fusion® software, enables precise diagnosis and treatment of cancerous lesions.
Process Description:
Focalyx® Dx: The patient undergoes a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to detect 90% of benign and malignant lesions for diagnosis.
Focalyx® Bx: Using Focalyx® Fusion as a GPS, precise samples of identified lesions are taken through the perineal access to areas of the prostate inaccessible to transrectal biopsies, reducing infection risks.
Focalyx® Tx: Identified lesions are treated with two methods, focused cryoablation (very low temperatures), and laser ablation (echolaser), both FDA approved treatments, using perineal access and guided by Focalyx® Fusion, a GPS-like system that targets only the malignant cells, treating cancer with precision and effectiveness. It is performed in the Doctor's office.
"Dr. Bianco reviewed my information and said he could treat my cancer with Focalyx. Everything Dr. Bianco said made sense, preserve the gland and precisely eliminate the problem. Three months post-treatment, my urinary function is better than it was 10 years ago, my ability to control has improved immediately after treatment"
