Follow-up close to home
Douglas County men with prostate cancer can have PSA checks and many follow-up visits at our Dallas Clinic with Daniel Roberson, PA-C. Planning, MRI review and any procedure happen on our Marietta campus.
How focal therapy fits
Focal therapy treats the area of the prostate where cancer is found rather than the whole gland. It may be considered for certain men whose cancer is limited to one region on MRI and biopsy. Our urologists compare it with active surveillance, robotic prostatectomy and radiation, including how follow-up checks for any new or remaining cancer.

- Trouble urinating after treatment
- Fever or burning

Common questions
Common questions
Will I still need follow-up biopsies?
Yes. PSA tests continue at regular intervals, with a prostate MRI and often a targeted biopsy at set points to check both the treated and untreated areas.
Does it protect erections and continence?
Treating just the cancer area is meant to lower the chance of leaking and erection problems compared with surgery or whole-gland radiation. It does not remove that chance, and the rest of the prostate still needs monitoring.
