Prostate
HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound)
An ablative approach that uses focused ultrasound energy to treat selected prostate tissue. Candidacy depends on staging, prostate characteristics, and specialist review.
What patients are usually trying to decide
Patients are usually trying to understand whether symptoms, test results, or a new diagnosis require a urology visit.
A urologist may review PSA trend, urinary symptoms, prostate size, imaging, biopsy history, cancer risk, medications, and procedure fit.
Where this fits in urology care
This page is part of Prostate, under Prostate cancer. Use it to understand the care area before a visit, then talk with a urologist about whether it fits your situation.
Questions to ask before scheduling
- Am I a candidate for this procedure or category of care?
- What testing or records should I bring to the visit?
- What are the main alternatives and why might one fit better?
- What should make me call urgently instead of waiting?
