For decades, doctors have been experimenting with therapeutic ultrasound, or the use of ultrasound to treat diseases as opposed to the more prosaic use for imaging babies and gallbladders. It’s not the first time that the technology has been heralded as a breakthrough. But the newer application to treat Prostate Cancer without surgery is the most promising.

To overcome these complications, Urologists in India are trying out the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), latest technique that does not require the removal of the entire prostate gland. Instead, it cooks the prostate tissue with ultrasound beams, passed by a robotic arm through the patient’s rectum, destroying and evaporating all the cancerous cells. The temperature is rapidly increased to 90 degrees Celsius in a matter of seconds which destroys the tissue. As this is an image guided procedure, the surgeon can see the inside of the prostate gland leaving no room for error during surgery.
HIFU is a one-time procedure performed under regional anaesthesia and can completely cure prostate as large as 40 grams.
