HIFU Treatment for Prostate Cancer Cost in India

Hifu Treatment For Prostate Cancer

A high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) procedure is a new technique to treat prostate cancer. Often, men with cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate may get the surgery. It can also be done if cancer comes back to the prostate. It is not used when cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

HIFU uses sound waves that a doctor points through the wall of the rectum which is the bottom part of the large intestine. He will direct the waves at the cancer cells.

The sound waves are raised up to a temperature as high as 90 F and can kill cancer cells in just a few seconds. Doctors use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound imaging to tell exactly where the tumor is and where to point the sound waves.

More About Treatment

Who can have HIFU?

HIFU might be suitable if the cancer is contained within the prostate. It is sometimes an option if the prostate cancer has started to break out of the prostate, or has spread to the area just outside the prostate. It is not an option if cancer has spread outside the prostate to other parts of your body.

HIFU has fewer side effects as compared to many other treatments for prostate cancer. Although, after HIFU, patients may have trouble getting an erection, this is usually temporary and improves with time, also medicine can help while you regain this ability.
