  • New Fusion System Creates a Smart Prostate Biopsy

    The Scionti Prostate Center now can provide FUSION of real-time 3D ultrasound and advanced 3D MRI prostate images using the latest Artemis System. The result is a true targeted biopsy requiring FEWER BIOPSY NEEDLES.

  • Scionti Advanced HIFU Protocol

    The Scionti Advanced HIFU Protocol is based on his vast skills and experience in treating over 600 HIFU patients along with the unique techniques he developed to reduce HIFU therapy side effects.

  • Prostate Focal Therapy

    The goal of prostate focal therapy is long-term cancer control with minimal treatment side effects. For the right patients focal therapy can be an effective middle ground. I offer select patients three focal therapy options: Cryotherapy, HIFU and MRI-Guided Prostate Laser Ablation.

  • MRI Prostate 3D scanning

    The Scionti Prostate Center offers patients 3D MRI scanning capable of detecting tiny tumors that can be precisely sampled to help improve prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment and follow up.

  • 3D Prostate Mapping

    The Scionti Prostate Center can provide patients a 3D PROSTATE-MAP showing visual details of the size, location and shape of any prostate tumors, all critical information for targeting a biopsy and/or planning a prostate treatment.

  • Wally Cole

    Prostate Cryotherapy

    I went for a thorough physical in November, 2004. Because of genetic factors, I had bypass surgery at age 38, and a heart attack over 10 years ago.

  • Edwin Kaylor

    Prostate Cryotherapy

    Dr. Scionti has been my doctor for years. I had an enlarged prostate, and I was getting regular PSA blood tests. They tended to be high, so I also had annual biopsies. They were negative for cancer but showed some precursors.

  • Kenneth Stone

    Prostate Cryotherapy

    I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2004. During routine annual physicals and digital rectal examinations (DRE) in 2001 and 2002 a "ridge" had been detected on my prostate, but my urologists expressed no concern; my PSA scores were low.

    High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

    My name is Andy and I wanted to share my experience with PCa and specifically the treatment method I choose which is called High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). I will also share my personal story which ranged from intense fear to elation it has been quite the journey.

    High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

    My name is Rod and I live in Manitoba. Last year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My father had been diagnosed late in life, but I was only 57 at the time.

  • Tom

    My HIFU Experience

    I am 46, so my results may be a bit more optimal than most. I had focal HIFU done on a left side only tumor, 7 Gleason score (3/4), 4.1 PSA on March 20. I ran a mile and a half 4 times in the last week, but I wouldn't recommend running much earlier than that (I walked pretty much right away, but the pounding of running had me a bit wary).
