High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment option for certain men with localized prostate cancer. The procedure uses precisely targeted ultrasound energy to heat and destroy cancerous tissue within the prostate while minimizing damage to surrounding structures.
Because HIFU does not involve surgical incisions or radiation, many patients appreciate that it is typically performed as an outpatient procedure with a relatively quick recovery time. The technology allows physicians to focus treatment on specific areas of the prostate, which may help preserve urinary and sexual function compared to some traditional treatments.
Dr. Jurige works closely with patients to determine whether they may be candidates for advanced treatment options like HIFU. Careful evaluation—including imaging, PSA history, and biopsy results—is essential in determining the most appropriate treatment plan.
