Precision Matters: Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer with Dr. Preston Sprenkle

The Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast

In this powerful episode of the Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Preston Sprenkle, leading urologic oncologist at Yale School of Medicine, to explore the emerging role of focal therapy in prostate cancer care. A pioneer in MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy using the Artemis Device, Dr. Sprenkle shares how focal treatments can offer cancer control while preserving quality of life.

Whether you’re on active surveillance or facing a Gleason 7 or 8 diagnosis, this episode helps you better understand:

• When focal therapy is appropriate—and when it’s not
• Key differences between cryoablation, IRE (NanoKnife), and Tulsa Pro
• How patient goals (erectile function, continence, cancer control) shape treatment
• What recent research shows about focal therapy success rates
• How to approach higher-risk prostate cancer (Gleason 8–10) with focal therapy
• What to know about PSMA PET scans, genomic tests, and repeat biopsies
• The real risks of skipping follow-up on active surveillance

You’ll also hear candid reflections on the evolution of holistic and integrative urology, and why building trust with your urologist matters more than ever.
