A Modern, Non-Invasive Therapy for Cancer Care

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an advanced, non-invasive cancer treatment that uses powerful, focused ultrasound waves to destroy tumors without surgery. It is a safe, precise, and organ-preserving option for selected patients and is increasingly used worldwide as an alternative to surgery or radiation in specific cancer types.

✅ What Is HIFU?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a therapeutic technique where high-frequency ultrasound energy is focused on a small, targeted area inside the body.

This energy increases temperature rapidly at the tumor site, destroying cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissues.

It is completely non-invasive — no cuts, no stitches, and no radiation exposure.

🩺 How HIFU Works

1. Imaging Guidance
   Doctors use real-time ultrasound or MRI to identify the tumor precisely.

2. Focused Ultrasound Energy
   Multiple ultrasound beams converge at the tumor, raising its temperature to 60–90°C.

3. Tumor Destruction
   The heat coagulates and kills cancer cells instantly — without harming nearby tissues.

4. Natural Healing
   The body gradually absorbs and removes the destroyed tissue.

🎯 Conditions Treated With HIFU

HIFU is effective for:

• Prostate cancer

• Uterine fibroids

• Liver tumors

• Kidney tumors (selected cases)

• Pancreatic tumors (palliative)

• Bone metastases (pain palliation)

• Soft-tissue tumors

• Recurrent cancers where surgery is risky

Your oncologist will decide suitability based on tumor size, location, and overall health.
