HIFU ablation
Procedure description
HIFU (High Intensive Focused Ultrasound) is the most advanced non-invasive method in the world for the destruction of tumors. Most neoplasms can be treated in a single session, while the skin remains intact.
When is it performed?
- In gynecology: for uterine fibroids, endometriosis
- In oncology: for breast cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer
Advantages of HIFU for the patient
- No pain
- The procedure is performed without incisions
- No risk of bleeding
- Several tumors can be removed in one session
Specifics of the procedure in global clinics
During HIFU ablation, diagnosis and treatment are performed in real time under ultrasound guidance, and the result is visible immediately.
In addition, after high-intensity ablation, specialists in global clinics note the development of antitumor immunity in the patient (due to the absorption of necrotized tissue residue).
