HIFU, which is short for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a therapy that destroys prostate 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 almost 90 degrees Celsius in a matter of seconds. Any tissue at the "focal point" is destroyed; however, any tissue outside of the focal point remains unharmed.

In most cases, HIFU is a 1-4 hour, one-time procedure performed on an out-patient basis under spinal anesthesia. HIFU is minimally invasive, non surgical and radiation free. It can be repeated if necessary and can also be used as a salvage technique if other prostate cancer treatments fail.

Looking into other treatment options like radiation, prostatectomy or even the robotic prostatectomy? Before you decide, learn about all your treatment options.
