About HIFU
|
|
HIFU is a new and minimal invasive technology for treatment of localised prostate cancer. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence, an independent government body in the United Kingdom has evaluated HIFU, and concluded that the scientific evidence is sufficient to support the use of HIFU for the treatment of prostate
cancer, in the UK National Health System (View the Guidelines). |
|
|
HIFU has been used extensively in Japan and Europe where clinical studies have shown HIFU to be a safe and effective prostate cancer treatment.
|
|
Dr Peter Royce 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 curative primary treatment or as salvage treatment after previous radiation
therapy.
