HIFU

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is one of two types of focal therapy we offer. It uses ultrasound waves to target cancer in the lower, or posterior, part of your prostate. HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that is guided by advanced 3D MRI imaging to destroy cancer cells while protecting healthy tissues.
  • Soundwave-based treatment
  • Preserves urinary and sexual function
  • Day procedure and rapid recovery

NanoKnife

NanoKnife is the other type of focal therapy we offer and uses electrical pulses to target the upper, or anterior, part of your prostate. Guided by 3D MRI imaging, NanoKnife is a minimally-invasive treatment that destroys cancer cells that may be hard to reach with HIFU.
  • Needle-based treatment
  • Preserves urinary and sexual function
  • Day procedure and rapid recovery

What our patients say


“So I had the HIFU treatment…and the rest has been joyful and happy. I do not feel like a cancer sufferer.”
Perry Letcher
The Focal Therapy Clinic patient
“As cancer treatments go, and if this kills my cancer or cures my cancer, I mean, it’s unbelievable. What a prostatectomy would have done to me mentally and what this did, is not even a comparison.”
Michael Anthony
The Focal Therapy Clinic patient
“Yes, you can play in an ice hockey match twelve days post procedure with HIFU. I'm not promising you’ll be able to skate [though]…”
Nigel Harris
The Focal Therapy Clinic patient
"I did not like having a ticking time bomb inside me. We don't know if or when it's going to develop. And that makes future planning, if you want to go on holidays and do things with the children or grandchildren, it makes life very difficult."
Michael Clay
The Focal Therapy Clinic patient
“I want to encourage all men to be honest [about the potential side effects] because if they can't deal with this before they have a procedure, then it's too late for many of them, with a dramatic effect on their lifestyle.”
Graham Pipe
The Focal Therapy Clinic patient
“We had friends who had treatments. I remember one friend who was having the hormone treatment and I remember vividly his hot flashes and being just not comfortable all the time. Barry didn’t want to be facing more and more and more treatment.”
Jackie
Wife of a Focal Therapy Clinic patient
