 HIFUHIFU is a state-of-the-art technology utilizing the power of ultrasound to destroy deep seated prostate tissue without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue. The HIFU energy is focused sharply from the transducer surface to the targeted tissue in the prostate. Temperature is elevated in the targeted tissue up to 90 degrees C within one second causing cell death. The therapy consists of placing HIFU lesions (each requiring only a few seconds to create) side-by-side until the entire prostate gland has been "painted" with HIFU energy. HIFU, readily available at our affiliated International Treatment Centers in Mexico and in the Bahamas, is only approved by the FDA for investigational use within the United States. You are faced with the bewildering task of making an informed decision on your choice of prostate cancer treatment. Please study the information on this site to learn about the most exciting, innovative, and least invasive therapy for prostate cancer. Now, you don't need to sacrifice your quality of life or your lifestyle. Call us or fill out our contact form to speak with Dr. Scionti and learn whether you are a candidate for HIFU therapy.
