Newswise — HACKENSACK, NJ - March 20, 2023 – Hackensack University Medical Center's Department of Urology is now offering an advanced, noninvasive treatment option for patients with localized prostate cancer.  Focal One is an advanced robotic high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system that allows Hackensack University Medical Center urologists to precisely target and destroy diseased prostate tissue using sound waves — minimizing the risk of side effects such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction that are associated with surgery to remove the prostate and radiation therapy.
