The study suggests that more than 1.4 million people across the world were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020. Prostate cancer is a prevalent health concern for men globally. While traditional treatments like surgery and radiation are effective, they can come with side effects like incontinence and erectile dysfunction. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) offers a minimally invasive alternative for treating prostate cancer. This blog explores the cost of HIFU treatment for prostate cancer in India, making it an attractive option for many patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>(This May Interest You: <\/em><\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/international-health-news\/new-technique-to-tackle-prostate-cancer\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">New Technique Emanate to Tackle Prostate Cancer<\/a><\/em><strong><em>)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is HIFU Treatment?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As the name suggests, high-intensity focused ultrasound is a treatment that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to target and destroy cancer cells within the prostate gland. In this process, the high-energy sound waves are concentrated at the tumor, called the focal point, producing heat to kill the cancer cells. It is a revolutionary treatment approach that can kill off the cancer cells without harming the healthy ones (cells outside the focal point).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">HIFU surgery is one done only for benign or early-stage prostate cancer, i.e., when the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body. This minimally invasive technique using focal ablation has made early cancer treatment highly accessible and secure for men. The side effects are less severe, and the patient can leave the hospital the following day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You might have HIFU treatment to either:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The whole prostate gland.

The median time to post-HIFU recurrence has been around 16 months. While not everyone experiences a recurrence, a few may do. The MRI biopsy demonstrated that 56% had in-field recurrence. In comparison, 21% had an out-of-field recurrence, and 23% had both recurrences.
