  A local spinal anesthetic is used in conjunction with sedation through intravenous. A probe is inserted in the patient's rectum and some sort of focused beam of ultrasound waves is projected in the cancerous tissue on your prostate. The prostate is located working on the rectum, so the computer advised probe can deliver the ultrasound waves in the rectal wall. A specially trained urological surgeon controls the procedure.
  
  The prostate tissue targeted is heated to temperatures above 85?? C destroying your cancerous cells. This process is repeated using a variable focal point until the many cancerous material has recently been heated and destroyed. To treat the whole of the affected prostate area normally takes up to 3 hours.
  
  Immediately after the treatment, swelling of this prostate is expected. A temporary urinary catheter is place in place until the swelling recedes. This usually takes as many as 14 days based on the patient.
  
  Follow up
  
  The patient is discharged the day with the treatment with no nutritional restrictions. The catheter may be removed roughly 14 days to weeks later. Antibiotics are prescribed for just two weeks and PSA levels are going to be monitored for 3 months following the treatment.
  
  Some complications that will occur are,
  
  

  • Mild bleeding inside first stream when urinating
  
  
  • Frequent and perhaps an urgent need to help urinate
  
  
  • Urinary leakage upon exercise

  
  
  Cure Rates
  
  Prostate cancer can be a condition where cells inside prostate grow uncontrollably, often creating multiple small tumors inside gland. Early detection of the disease is critical because the cure rate is above 90% when the cancer is confined on the prostate gland.
  
  One treatment option using HIFU therapy is to spare the nerve entering the prostate when no cancerous cells are generally detected in the neural. If PSA levels after treatment remain high, the treatment can be repeated.
  
  In a 5 year study at the University of Regensburg, Ablatherm HIFU led to over 93% of people with T1 or T2, that is, prostate confined cancer, showing no return of melanoma cells 22 months when treatment.
  
  Side effects recorded with this study were minimal typically.
  
  

  • Passing 0%
  
  
  • Digestive complications 0%
  
  
  • Mild to moderate bladder control problems 5%
  
  
  • Total bladder control problems < 1%
  
  
  • Blockage in the urethra 8%
  
  
  • Erectile impotence with nerve-sparing procedure 20%
  
  
  • Sexual impotence without nerve-sparing procedure 66%

  
  
  Another positive result from this study was that none with the patients reported a decline in their quality of life after completion of the treatment.
  
  The overall findings from this study and usage from this procedure since the examine show that HIFU prostate cancer treatment can perform a cure of the disease whether it is caught in its early stages.
  
  Repeat Treatments
  
  Since HIFU prostate tumor therapy is non invasive, it can be repeated or used being a follow-up to external hug you radiation therapy. Patients showing a recurrence in the disease after treatment remain qualified to receive a repeat procedure and also for surgery, radiotherapy and hormone therapy where needed. HIFU therapy has proven itself to be an effective first treatment for early stage prostate tumor patients. Research is continuing to help assess its effectiveness against more advanced cancers. For North North american men, the Ablatherm HIFU treatment happens to be only available at this Maple Leaf HIFU clinic in downtown Toronto. Ogden Cancer Clinic
