PRO-Talk Live – Beyond Focal Therapy: Subtotal and Whole-Gland Ablation with Dr. Y Mark Hong

Is radical prostatectomy at a crossroads? In this session from PRO-Talk live, Dr. Mark Hong of Integrative Urology in Phoenix reviews the evolution of prostate cancer surgery and why TULSA-PRO is revolutionizing treatment.

Drawing on a range of U.S. and international data, Dr. Hong explores the “trifecta” of cancer control, continence, and sexual function, and why many patients still struggle to achieve it.

Dr. Hong also discusses the rise of active surveillance, its benefits and burdens, and how focal therapies and MRI-guided approaches like TULSA are reshaping treatment possibilities.

Through evidence, real-world cases, and candid insights, Dr. Hong considers whether we are entering a new phase of prostate cancer care—one driven by patient expectations, technological disruption, and a focus on preserving quality of life.

Profound Medical develops customizable, incision-free therapies which combine real-time Magnetic Resonance (“MR”) imaging, thermal ultrasound and closed-loop temperature feedback control for the radiation-free ablation of diseased tissue

The TULSA Procedure is a new solution for men with prostate disease, including prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that is incision-free, radiation-free, and performed in an outpatient setting. ‘TULSA’ stands for ‘Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation’. Transurethral, because the device reaches the prostate by entering the urethra. Ultrasound, because ultrasound energy is used to heat the prostate tissue. And ablation, because the heating is used to precisely destroy targeted prostate tissue. Keep watching to learn more about the TULSA Procedure and its recent clinical trial results.
