HIFU prostate cancer treatment
Ablatherm HIFU: A Non-Invasive Treatment Option
If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you do have alternatives to surgery and radiation. Ablatherm® HIFU does not involve surgery but instead uses a High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) beam which safely and effectively destroys the prostate tissue.
This treatment option is completed in a few hours on an outpatient basis. HIFU has minimal side effects such as incontinence and impotence. HIFU is suitable for men who do not want to undergo surgery, or radiation; are at risk for surgery; and for those with a recurrence following radiotherapy.
