High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

HIFU focuses ultrasound energy through an external probe to generate temperatures of 65°C or higher within the targeted area, causing immediate coagulative necrosis of cancer cells. The entire procedure is guided and monitored in real-time using ultrasound/ MRI fusion imaging, ensuring precision and safety.

• Minimally Invasive: No surgical incisions, thus avoiding traditional surgical risks
• Rapid Recovery: Most patients resume daily activities within 24 hours
• Fewer Side Effects: Significantly lower incidence of urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction compared to radical surgery
• Precise Treatment: Real-time imaging ensures only cancerous tissue is targeted and destroyed

• Patients with early-stage localized prostate cancer
• Patients prioritizing quality of life who wish to preserve continence and sexual function

1. Pre-treatment Preparation: Fast for 6 hours, bowel cleansing, and administration of antibiotics orally or parenterally
2. Anesthesia: Usually performed under general anesthesia
3. Post-treatment Recovery: Patients can resume eating on the same day; urinary catheter typically removed within 7 days
4. Follow-up Plan: Regular PSA testing and MRI scans for monitoring
    

*Remarks: Specific treatment plans must be determined by a urologist based on individual cases
