American Hospital Dubai introduces Focal One HIFU treatment for prostate cancer

American Hospital Dubai has launched the Focal One HIFU Robotic System, a groundbreaking non-invasive treatment for prostate cancer, offering precision patient care in the region.

The Focal One HIFU (High-intensity Focused Ultrasound) Robotic System is a revolutionary alternative to traditional prostate cancer treatments. The procedure utilises focused ultrasound energy to precisely target and destroy cancerous tissue with unmatched accuracy, without incisions or radiation.

This further enhances its excellence in robotic surgery and reinforces its commitment to delivering the most advanced robotic medical care in the UAE and the region.

Advanced, less invasive approach

Focal One HIFU is an excellent treatment option for men with localised prostate cancer looking for an advanced, less invasive approach option.

The advantages of the HIFU procedure significantly outweigh those of conventional prostate procedures. This noninvasive technology ensures no surgical cuts or scars, only using ultrasound energy, thereby minimising the impact on urinary and sexual function and preserving quality of life.

Being free of radiation eliminates the risks and side effects associated with radiotherapy, allowing for faster recovery and same-day hospital discharge, enabling patients to resume their routines within days.

"Focal One HIFU represents a transformative leap in prostate cancer care," says Dr Muhammad Elmussareh, Director of Urology and Assistant Chief Quality Officer at American Hospital Dubai. “By combining precision targeting with minimal side effects, we can now offer patients a treatment that fights cancer effectively and prioritises their long-term well-being. This is the future of prostate cancer therapy."

The addition of Focal One HIFU to American Hospital Dubai’s dedicated Prostate Clinic further elevates the clinic’s status as the region’s one-stop, state-of-the-art facility, offering a comprehensive range of diagnostics and treatments for all prostate-related conditions. The clinic guarantees the best turnaround time (TAT) with same-day prostate testing and diagnosis, as well as same-day consultations, to develop the most effective treatment plans.

Excellence in robotic surgery

American Hospital Dubai’s excellence in robotic surgery has earned its Centre of Excellence in Robotic Surgery (COERS) accreditation from the US-based Surgical Review Corporation (SRC). The hospital is the first private healthcare facility in the region to receive this recognition.

Sherif Beshara, Group CEO of American Hospital Dubai, adds, “We are excited to introduce the revolutionary Focal One HIFU Robotic System to the region. American Hospital Dubai is committed to bringing patients the latest medical advancements, and Focal One Robotic HIFU technology is another step in fulfilling that commitment. It underlines our dedication to delivering world-class care while prioritising patients’ quality of life.”
