The HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) method is an effective treatment option, particularly for early-stage prostate cancer, where the cancer is small and localized. This method is generally recommended for the following patient profiles:
* Patients with Early-Stage Prostate Cancer: Those with early-stage (T1 or T2) localized cancer that has not spread outside the prostate.
* Patients Prioritizing Function Preservation: Typically younger patients with an active lifestyle who prioritize preserving their urinary and sexual functions.
* Patients Unsuitable for Surgery: Patients who are not candidates for radical prostatectomy surgery due to age, general health status, or co-existing conditions.
* Those Seeking Minimally Invasive Treatment: Patients who prefer a less invasive treatment method and expect a quicker recovery.
* Patients with Previous Abdominal Surgery: It can be considered an alternative for patients who have undergone previous abdominal surgery, making other treatment methods difficult or risky.
