www.hifu-planet.co.uk & www.ukhifu.com– These organisations provide information on prostate
cancer and centres in the UK (and abroad) where High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is available for prostate cancer treatment. At present treatment is given in the UK via a rectal probe (the probe images the cancer and also delivers the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound beam to ablate (remove) the cancer). Note: High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is not always recommended in the first instance but is used for the treatment of prostate cancer that has come back after other treatments have failed e.g. radiotherapy, surgery (this is sometimes called salvage treatment).
