Radiation Failure on Treating Prostate Cancer

HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) uses high-energy sound waves without radiation to destroy prostate cancer cells. Intersecting, precision focused ultrasound waves to target cancer more than seconds in the 80-90 degree Celsius temperature increase inside the tissue, effectively destroying the tissue.

Unlike radiation therapy, ultrasound energy non-ionizing "clean energy" that does not damage the tissue around the target area. Objective area in diameter 1 / 8 inches around, which permits more accurate radiation therapy. Unlike radiation, HIFU treatment in the event that the disease can be repeated frequently at the local level. Radiation therapy after a failed rescue HIFU treatment can be used like.

HIFU procedure done on an outpatient basis, a mean hospital stay is often required. Procedure performed under spinal or general anesthesia and usually takes about 2-3 hours. During the procedure, a small rectal probe generates ultrasound energy that the right emissions target is inserted into the prostate. Prostate doctor all the way to real-time ultrasound destruction of prostate cancer and other significant tissue injury at the maximum use of images to be monitored through the process.

HIFU treatment for prostate cancer have not yet been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, so far, 6000 has more than 100 men in HIFU HIFU centers worldwide on international. Each year, more than 40,000 men with prostate cancer who are treated with radiation to her cancer is back. Majority of hormone therapy in an attempt to control their cancer will decide. Prohibits the production of testosterone hormone therapy in order to slow the growth of cancer. However, unwanted effects like osteoporosis, low testosterone may cause the heart attack, stroke, libido, depression, impotence and loss of mental acuity and increased risk of harm. Ultrasound is radiation free and clean energy use HIFU prostate cancer within the residual destroys. A small U.S. safety tests, the participants 91% 6 months after HIFU treatment had a negative biopsy.

Typical short-term unintended effects associated with radiation therapy fatigue, urinary and rectal symptoms include. Symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, urge incontinence, nocturia and lower urinary stream can join. Anal symptoms diarrhea, fecal incontinence, rectal urgency and rectal bleeding can join. Generally, urinary and rectal symptoms are transient. Plus, erectile dysfunction often develops months or years after radiation therapy. Long-term complications are rare and the rectum or urinary fistulas, urinary strictures, and hemorrhagic cystitis (bleeding rectum and bladder, chronic) proctitis and dysfunctional bladder or rectum as a result of scarring include. There is growing evidence that men undergoing pelvic radiation developing bladder and colon cancer risk is big enough.

Salvage radical prostatectomy is a great prostate due to the daunting technical process is embedded in a fibrous scar produced by radiation. Therefore, minimally invasive ablative therapy after failed radiation therapy that is actually HIFU for recurrent prostate cancer treatment are receiving increasing acceptance. Many patients who have radiation therapy, brachytherapy or external beam radiation experienced an increase in PSA has been discovered that the cancer had returned. These patients also candidates for HIFU, until the cancer has not spread to bone or other organs may be. In addition, patients that may qualify for an intensive even HIFU after receiving prostatectomy is a local recurrence.
