HIFU; It is the most modern and advanced treatment method that destroys prostate cancer using high-energy sound waves.

In this method, called focal HIFU, the cancerous tissue is precisely targeted with millimetric precision using the latest and high-tech imaging methods.

HIFU is a scientifically proven method of prostate cancer treatment.

What is the most important advantage of HIFU treatment?
With HIFU, the cancerous tissue in the prostate gland is completely destroyed, while the remaining normal part of the gland is preserved; In this way, since the functions provided by the normal tissue around the tumor are not damaged, the risk of problems such as urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction that may occur after the surgery is eliminated.

What is the risk of side effects of HIFU treatment?
HIFU; It is the method with the lowest probability of side effects among prostate cancer treatment methods.

Where in the world is HIFU treatment used for prostate cancer?
It is used in many countries of the world, especially in the USA and Western European countries. HIFU treatment is recommended by many professional and scientific institutions that are authorities in this field, especially the European Urology Association.

How does HIFU treatment affect cancer?
High-energy sound waves directed at the cancer tissue with millimetric precision create a heat effect of 90 0 C, disrupting the structure of cancer cells and destroying these cells within a few seconds.
