HIFU for Prostate Cancer
Istanbul
HIFU for Prostate Cancer in Istanbul is available at 2 hospitals in the Voumed network.
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical, targeted treatment for prostate cancer that destroys diseased tissue using precisely focused sound waves, without any cut to the body. A probe placed in the back passage delivers focused ultrasound energy that heats and destroys only the cancerous part of the prostate, while sparing the healthy tissue and nearby structures as much as possible. Because it is so targeted, HIFU aims to treat the cancer while protecting urinary control and sexual function. It is mainly used for early, localised prostate cancer and for men who want a minimally invasive option.
