EVU Center in Arizona Brings Powerful HIFU Treatment for Prostate Cancer

PHOENIX - May 13, 2019 - PRLog -- IFU Arizona EVU Center

In the U.S, men diagnosed with prostate cancer now have another treatment option to consider. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has shown effectiveness as an non-invasive method of treating prostate cancer.

This method blasts high-frequency ultrasound waves through the walls of the rectum, generating sufficient thermal energy to destroy diseased prostate tissue. HIFU is intended to keep the gland intact, preserving urinary and sexual functionality.

The FDA has approved this form of treatment, which has been called a lumpectomy for men, for tissue ablation. HIFU is ten thousand times more powerful than the soundwaves necessary for producing images through diagnostic ultrasound.

Since the procedure is performed by going through the rectum it is considered noninvasive since no incision is required, whereas other methods use laser energy, requiring passage of a probe through the perineum to the inside of the prostate in order to transport energy to the prostate.  For more information about HIFU Arizona EVU Center is the first place to call. https://www.evucenter.com

The ideal patient for HIFU is man with localized prostate cancer and low-intermediate risk, and who have low volume, preferably unilateral tumors. Also, patients suited for HIFU have tumors that are posterior and lateral in location, prostate glands that are 25-30ml in height, no previous injury, scarring or disease to the rectum, and no calcifications in the prostate. These criteria present the patients that have the most use of HIFU, but others may benefit from this method, as well.

Although HIFU does have less side effects than some other treatments used to treat prostate cancer, there are still some of which to be aware.

After HIFU treatment, some men have trouble getting or maintaining an erection although that may dissipate over time. Some men also have trouble urinating or may leak urine between trips to the restroom.  Some men experience pain between their testicles and rectum, usually handled with medication. There's also a risk for blood in the urine, a urinary infection, and an infection in the testicles.
