Results of HIFU Treatments For Recurrent Prostate Cancer

Numerous studies have been published about the success rates after a “salvage” HIFU procedure when radiation therapy fails. Unfortunately, most studies have very limited numbers of patients and short term follow up. Several more years of studies are required before we will have better predictive data.

One of the better, more recent studies showed comparable disease-free survival rates when comparing radical surgery to HIFU for radiation failure patients.

HIFU treated patients, however, had a significantly lower incidence of side effects and complications as compared to patients who underwent a radical prostatectomy.

Dr. Pugach’s urology office is located in Los Alamitos, CA.  For patients who live out-of-the-area and for international patients who want to discuss prostate cancer treatment options with Dr. Pugach, we offer telephone or online/virtual consultations.
