Threrapy to Treat Prostate Cancer Being Tested

Richard Williams successfully underwent an experimental HAIFU treatment for prostate cancer, eliminating tumors without the side effects of impotence or incontinence. HAIFU uses high-power ultrasound beams to precisely target and destroy cancer cells, sparing surrounding tissues. This method is compared to the shift from mastectomy to lumpectomy in breast cancer. Recent trials at North Hampshire and University College London hospitals show promising results, with a higher success rate than traditional surgery or radiotherapy. The treatment offers hope for safer, more effective prostate cancer management.
