How Will You Beat Prostate Cancer?
HIFU, is an acoustic ablation technology that harnesses the power of ultrasound waves to destroy deep-seated tissue in areas of the body that are hard to reach with traditional treatments. When used to treat prostate cancer, it is a highly effective treatment option that is able to target and destroy the prostate gland and its cancerous tissue with pinpoint accuracy. HIFU works by quickly increasing the temperature in specific focal zones high enough to destroy the tissue.AS SEEN ON:
Many prostate cancer treatments have high incidences of side effects, particularly incontinence and impotence. This risk is significantly reduced with the control and precision offered to physicians using HIFU technology.
