During Sonablate HIFU therapy, your provider inserts a small probe into your rectum to deliver targeted, high-temperature sound waves to the cancer site. Unlike traditional prostate cancer treatments, such as radiation therapy and surgical prostatectomy, tissue outside of the precise target area isn’t damaged or affected.
In addition to eliminating cancer cells, HIFU therapy has several other benefits:
- Quick recovery
- No radiation
- No blood loss
- Minimally invasive
Sonablate HIFU provides an utterly customizable treatment solution that enables your doctor to adjust your procedure while it’s underway. That means they only destroy the tissue that needs to be destroyed, preserving your body’s standard functions as much as possible.
This nonsurgical, outpatient procedure preserves prostate tissue and your ability to ejaculate. It features reduced risks of incontinence and erectile dysfunction compared to surgical procedures.
