HIFU as a treatment option for prostate cancer:
- HIFU is an incision free treatment for early stage prostate cancer.
- HIFU is offered as a treatment for prostate cancer in the UK, both privately and on the NHS.
- HIFU aims to preserve the vital structures around the glands that are involved in normal bladder emptying, preserving continence, and erectile function.
- The HIFU procedure takes 2-3 hours and is administered
as a day case, usually resulting in patient discharge within
4 hours of the treatment.*
- HIFU was recognised as a treatment for early stage prostate cancer by NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) in March 2005.
UKHIFU Limited provides prostate cancer sufferers with information and advice on obtaining a HIFU treatment in the UK. UKHIFU Limited also provides hospitals and clinics with HIFU technology on a for profit basis, using the Sonablate 500 from Misonix and Focus Surgery in the USA.
