Development of Adjuvant HIFU Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Description

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) emerges as a powerful technology for noninvasive or minimally invasive non-ionizing treatment of cancer, with recent FDA approval. HIFU deposits a large amount of acoustic energy at the focal region within the target tissue (i.e., tumor), causing tissue heating and necrosis. Page 12 of the CELT Research Abstract Booklet.
