The Focal Prostate Cancer Center at Colorado Urology
Discover Advanced Focal Prostate Cancer Treatment
At Colorado Urology’s Focal Prostate Cancer Center, patients benefit from the most advanced, minimally invasive treatments for localized prostate cancer. Led by Dr. Damian Sorce, a board-certified urologist, leader in focal therapy in the Denver region, and Director of the Focal Therapy and Advanced Prostate Cancer programs at Colorado Urology, the center’s mission is simple: deliver highly effective cancer care while preserving your quality of life.
What Is Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer?
Focal therapy targets only the area of the prostate affected by cancer, sparing healthy tissue. Unlike radical prostatectomy (removal of the entire prostate gland) or whole-gland radiation, focal therapy precisely targets the cancer cells while minimizing side effects.
Advanced Focal Therapy at Colorado Urology
Colorado Urology’s Focal Prostate Cancer Center is the only one in the Denver region offering all three leading focal prostate cancer therapies:
- High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU): Uses ultrasound waves to heat and destroy cancer cells. Non-invasive, repeatable, and shown in studies to achieve cure rates comparable to radical prostatectomy for low- to intermediate-risk patients.
- NanoKnife (Irreversible Electroporation): Delivers electrical pulses to eliminate cancer cells while preserving surrounding nerves and tissues, helping to maintain urinary and sexual function.
- Focal Brachytherapy (Focal Radiation): Radioactive seeds are implanted directly into the tumor, delivering highly targeted radiation with minimal impact on healthy tissue.
In most cases, these focal therapies offer patients quicker recovery and fewer complications than traditional surgery or whole-gland radiation.
Experience Matters – Why Choose Dr. Damian Sorce

“I am focused on providing patients with advanced, minimally invasive treatment options such as focal therapy that prioritize quality of life and preserve future choices. Every patient is unique. My practice is focused on not only offering alternatives to standard treatments that have fewer side effects, faster recovery, and optimal outcomes, but on delivering highly personalized care to help people live cancer-free.”
