142 verified reviewsHIFU is a minimally invasive, day-case treatment for localised prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the gland, using high-frequency ultrasound to target cancer cells, with the procedure typically taking 1-3 hours.
HIFU suits men with a single tumour or a few small tumours within the prostate.
Including the risk of urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction associated with more invasive treatment.
Some health conditions make HIFU a more appropriate option than traditional surgery.
Surgical removal of the entire prostate gland - suitable for localised cancer, but with a higher risk of side effects.
Freezing cancer cells - suitable for early-stage cancer, or cancer that has recurred after radiation therapy.
Monitoring the cancer closely without immediate treatment - suitable for low-risk, slow-growing prostate cancer.
HIFU fees depend on your case and hospital. Every cost is set out and agreed before you decide anything.
Most patients are seen within a few days for staging and an assessment with Mr Ghei.
