About HIFU
|
|
HIFU is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, a minimal invasive technology
for treatment of localised prostate cancer. |
|
|
HIFU has been used extensively in Japan and Europe where clinical studies have shown HIFU to be a safe and
effective prostate cancer treatment.
|
|
A/Prof Peter Royce is a prostate cancer specialist, and was the first Urologist in Melbourne, Australia to use
HIFU for the treatment of prostate cancer. Since the first HIFU treatment in November 2005, an increasing
number of men have chosen HIFU, instead of radical surgery or radiation therapy, as their primary treatment,
or as salvage treatment after previous radiation therapy.
