I have not been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I have a P.S .A of 12. Never been diagnosed with having cancer only a benign prostate. My doctor has suggested I have an H.I.F. U Is this correct ?? From what you are saying its for people with diagnosed cancer. I have had a high reading for at least 5 years and I am 71 years of age l have done all tests including 3 sessions of biopsies and the dreaded finger more times than I can count What do you think. My HIFU is scheduled for November. Regards.

Why this technique is limited to only prostate ?? Is it because of the device approachability at the other places ??

Two years later why isn’t this the gold standard? The field has too many varying options and none of them is the gold standard

Be more men who's lives might be saved if the medical establishments would hire all male teams for these procedures. I know many men who have prostate problems and will not go get checkedmbecause of female cnas, nurses, scrubs and x ray or iconography techs. Men have been told that they just need to suck it up. So they don't get medical help.
