Hifu treatment

Has anyone had this treatment?

  1. Hi . I can't personally speak to HIFU treatment, but I want to share with you this research article which found that "HIFU represents a useful alternative choice in mini-invasive therapy of prostate cancer. Particularly, results are remarkable in localized (low-intermediate risk) and low morbility prostate cancer. The role of this procedure in high risk patients needs to be further evaluated:" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19260381/#:~:text=Results%3A%20HIFU%20overall%20success%20rate,in%20the%20high%20risk%20group. Anecdotally, I can say that the reputation of HIFU within the prostate cancer community has seemed to increase over time. Hopefully others with some experience will chime in with their thoughts.
