What is HIFU and How is it Used in Prostate Cancer Therapy?

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) 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.
