    Course objectives, the evolving role of robotic HIFU in localized prostate cancer, and the principles behind a sustainable focal therapy program.
  • Selecting the Right Patient
    8:10 AM - 9:05 AM
    Focal therapy rationale and the index lesion hypothesis; how mpMRI and PSMA PET define lesion location, extent, and treatment feasibility; and the role of targeted, systematic, and transperineal biopsy in confirming clinically significant disease. Followed by open Q&A.
  • Case-Based Tumor Board: Selecting the Right Patient
    9:05 AM - 9:45 AM
    Faculty work through real cases to determine patient selection and discuss when focal therapy versus radical treatment is the better option.
  • Principles of HIFU and Treatment Planning
    10: 15 AM - 10:55 AM
    How HIFU creates precise tissue ablation and the factors driving energy delivery and accuracy, followed by a semi-live procedure integrating MRI, 3D biopsy, PSMA PET, and HIFUsion to build patient-specific plans. Followed by open Q&A.
  • Surveillance and Management of Recurrence
    10:55 AM - 11:30 AM
    Counseling patients on recovery and PSA kinetics, surveillance protocols and timing, and the clinical, imaging, and biopsy findings that prompt intervention. Followed by open Q&A.
  • Case-Based Tumor Board: Managing Recurrence
    11:30 AM - 12:00 PM
    Evaluating PSA kinetics, MRI, PSMA PET, and biopsy findings to characterize suspected recurrence and select a management strategy.
  • Networking Lunch
    12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
    The Wade Hotel: The Great Room 1&2
  • Building a Successful HIFU Program
    1:00 PM - 2:10 PM
    Stakeholder priorities behind capital investment and building the business case; multidisciplinary partnerships, patient pathways, and referral strategies that sustain growth; and coding, payer policy, and reimbursement best practices. Followed by open Q&A.
  • Ask the Experts: From Education to Implementation
    2:10 PM - 3:00 PM
    Faculty field real-world questions from across the patient journey, then close with key takeaways on patient selection, treatment, and surveillance, plus available resources and mentorship.
