Medical professionals in India have recently given a new hope of life to all those patients , who can be spared ill effects of radiation for treatment of localized prostate cancer.
Doctors at SafeMedTrip.com affiliated Hospitals are now performing High intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU, is a minimally invasive treatment option for localized prostate cancer that offers a balance between eliminating cancer and maintaining quality of life. HIFU is a new ,latest and most advanced technique for treatment of low grade prostate cancer. HIFU involves no surgery, no radiation , good cancer control ,minimal morbidity and also early return of erections and good urinary control.
HIFU procedure may be an option for men diagnosed with organ-confined prostate cancer. During the procedure, precisely focused ultrasound waves raise the temperature of the targeted prostate tissue to 195 degrees Fahrenheit in 2-3 seconds. This rapid-firing heat destroys the targeted tissue while leaving structures outside the targeted tissue unharmed.
High intensity focused ultrasound, HIFU compares much more beneficially with other conventional Prostate treatments like Radical Prostatectomy a major surgery to remove prostate; can be open retropubic, or laparoscopic or robotic surgery. External Beam Radiation needs 6 to 8 weeks of treatment, beaming radiation through healthy tissues with numerous side effects like Bowel problems more common than with other treatments.
The HIFU procedure deploys minimally invasive use of intersecting, precision-focused ultrasound waves to ablate diseased tissue. Temporary catheter has to be worn for approximately 2-3 weeks; and the patient can resume normal lifestyle almost immediately.
Patient Story – Mr Jim Roger from USA says -“I’m happy that I got it done here in India , the more we read and learned about HIFU, the more convinced we were that it was the best option. The hospital was clean and staffed by excellent medical staff and in a few hours, I was on my way back to the hotel. No pain, no surgery, no radiation, no hormones, no down-time. My wife laughs and says I am no longer hunting for the nearest restroom when we are out shopping. I was worried about the cost of the procedure, but when one considers the positive results, the price is reasonable. This procedure saved my life, got rid of my cancer, and made it possible for me to retain the life-style I was enjoying before the diagnosis.
