High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
INTRODUCTION Curative treatments for localized prostate cancer, from least invasive to most invasive, include brachytherapy, cryosurgery, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, external beam radiation therapy, and radical prostatectomy. A patient with localized, low risk or intermediate risk prostate cancer who is diagnosed at an early age and receives one of these treatments has only a...
متن کاملHigh-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in Localized Prostate Cancer Treatment
BACKGROUND High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applies high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to locally heat and destroy diseased or damaged tissue through ablation. This study intended to review HIFU to explain the fundamentals of HIFU, evaluate the evidence concerning the role of HIFU in the treatment of prostate cancer (PC), review the technologies used to perform HIFU and the publis...
متن کاملHigh-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND The growing interest in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is mainly due to its potential applications as a minimally invasive therapy. HIFU has been assessed for its role in the treatment of localized prostate cancer in patients who otherwise would not have benefited from surgery and in local recurrences after radiation failure. METHODS Relevant information on HIFU treatment...

متن کاملFeasibility of volumetric MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) for painful bone metastases
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) has recently emerged as an effective treatment option for painful bone metastases. We describe here the first experience with volumetric MR-HIFU for palliative treatment of painful bone metastases and evaluate the technique on three levels: technical feasibility, safety, and initial effectiveness. METHODS In this...
