Thank you @FocalOneHIFU and @ChiUroSociety for hosting a fantastic meeting on an important topic. Thank you to the outstanding faculty for making this event a success. Looking forward to doing it again next year! @PeterPintoMD @AbhinavSidana
Better late than never: but we had a fantastic course the weekend of September 11-12 on focal therapy hosted by CUS and Loyola medicine’s own Dr. Gupta. Hoping to make this an annual CUS event in the future if you missed out this year!

“Instead of treating the entire gland, if we could identify the area that has the disease and focus treatment solely on that area, we're able to avoid some of that collateral damage and improve the patient's quality of life,” explained Dr. Manuel Ozambela, Pedro’s treating physician and a urologic surgical oncologist at @BaptistHealthSF. Prostate cancer survivor Pedro was the first patient ever to undergo PSMA fusion-guided HIFU for prostate cancer. Under the care of Dr. Ozambela and the Baptist Health team, PSMA PET imaging, @FocalOneHIFU, and artificial intelligence (AI) were used to precisely target the cancer while sparing healthy tissue. Today, Pedro remains active and continues doing the things he loves, including playing golf several times a week. Read more about Pedro’s journey in the link below.
At 76, Pedro Lopez loves to play golf and keep a full schedule as a husband of 53 years, a father and a grandfather of four. His most recent accomplishment was becoming the first patient at Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute to receive a groundbreaking form of prostate cancer treatment that utilizes HIFU, or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. baptisthealth.net/baptist-he…

Join us at the #AUA26 Annual Meeting for a presentation by Pr. Pascal Rischmann, Principal Investigator of the HIFI Study, to explore the latest clinical evidence advancing focal therapy. The HIFI Study, the largest prospective clinical study comparing localized prostate cancer treatments, enrolled 3,328 patients across 46 centers, including 1,967 HIFU patients and 1,361 Radical Prostatectomy (RP) patients—demonstrating key insights into treatment outcomes. In addition, the HIFI-2 Study, recently published in European Urology Oncology, evaluated 531 patients across 32 sites and highlights the role of @FocalOneHIFU in managing radiorecurrent prostate cancer, showing strong oncologic control while preserving quality of life.
