high intensity focused ultrasound hifu prostate cancer

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive prostate procedure that uses high-intensity sound waves to heat and destroys prostate tissue, thereby avoiding the need for surgery or radiation. HIFU allows physicians to treat the entire prostate or to target only specific areas of concern, thus sparing surrounding and sensitive structures that cause undue morbidity.

Benefits of this prostate procedure, HIFU, include:

  • FDA clearance
  • Medicare coverage
  • No surgery or radiation
  • Outpatient procedure with no hospital stays
  • Single treatment typically 2-3 hours
  • Quick return to ADL
  • Low risk of incontinence and erectile dysfunction

The Sonablate HIFU system received FDA Clearance for Prostate Tissue Ablation in November 2015. Since launching Sonablate, the device/procedure continues to gain positive momentum at academic medical facilities, hospitals, and surgery centers throughout the US. Today, over 100 urology physicians have enrolled in Sonablate HIFU training, and 4,500+ HIFU procedures have been performed in the US (20,000 worldwide), including whole-gland, Hemi–gland, and focal prostate ablations using MR/Ultrasound-fused image guidance. And now with emerging new clinical outcomes data for Sonablate HIFU and  Medicare Coverage for prostate HIFU, patient interest is accelerating and new physicians and clinical centers are needed.
