Someone I know got treated with HIFU for his prostate cancer and he is fully well now.
HIFU, or high intensity sound waves is used. These sound waves actually cook the cancer cells.
Physicians in some countries are also using it successfully on some types of breast cancer and kidney cancer. This procedure does not damage adjacent tissues, and can be done through the skin.
And it looks like the British National Health Service is considering using HIFU after a succesful trial as reported in British Journal of Cancer. There are a number of websites out there that discuss this topic. Look around before you submit to chemo and radiation. Total hospitalization time is about 5 hours!
Just thought you all should know about this option.
