Minimally Invasive Prostate Cancer Therapy

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or HIFU, is a therapy that destroys tissue with rapid heat elevation, which essentially "cooks" the tissue. Ultrasound energy, or sound waves, is focused at a specific location and at that "focal point" the temperature raises to 90 degrees Celsius in a matter of seconds.

Over 7000 men, in nearly 100 HIFU centers worldwide, have already chosen HIFU with the Sonablate® 500, because it is the most advanced HIFU therapy available.

This website explores the experience using HIFU for prostate cancer treatment outside of the United States. Explore the site to learn more about International HIFU Centers, where HIFU is available, and to see if you qualify!
