Maimonides is at the forefront of this progressive treatment, creating innovative and personalized treatment plans with single-day treatments. Focal HIFU destroys prostate cancer cells using the energy from high-frequency sound waves, while leaving the healthy areas of the prostate intact and functional.

Maimonides Medical Center is the first hospital in Brooklyn to offer NanoKnife technology for prostate cancer treatment. Unlike traditional methods, this revolutionary approach enables surgeons to precisely target and eliminate diseased tissue without harming healthy tissue like blood vessels. Patients now have access to targeted therapy with minimal side effects, as this minimally-invasive technique doesn’t require a surgical incision, heat or radiation. Additionally, NanoKnife technology can be used close to sensitive areas like the muscles involved in urinary control, with a minimal risk of incontinence.

Our specialists use minimally invasive, robotic technology to surgically remove the prostate. This advanced technology enhances precision and leads to better outcomes. Learn about prostatectomy.

We offer several different radiation therapies, including internal radiation (brachytherapy) and external beam radiation, including 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). We’re among a few centers nationwide offering an injectable form of radiation to treat prostate cancer that has spread to bones.

Other treatment options include androgen deprivation (hormone) therapy and chemotherapy. We also offer immunotherapy for cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and doesn’t respond to other treatments. Learn about these therapies.
