Why choose us for HIFU Prostate Cancer Treatment in India?

HIFU Treatment for Prostate Cancer

HIFU is a fundamentally changed new treatment for Prostate Cancer in its early stage wherein the cancer is still limited to the organ which is possible to be treated without radiations and without even having surgical incisions in the body. We have help many international patients to avail HIFU Treatment for Prostate Cancer at best Cancer Hospital India.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in India is the procedure of focusing high intensity sound waves for creation of heat at a specific point-the focal point. With advanced technology, HIFU is used to kill target tissues during the procedure separately customized for every separate patient’s state of prostate cancer. When HIFU rays are conveyed to the focal point, the malignant tissues are killed without harming the tissues outside the focal point. HIFU method is basically used to heat and kill cancer cell in the prostate gland by using high frequency ultrasound waves.

HIFU is relatively an advanced method of treating cancer over other methods as this method involves heating only the tumors with precisely focused ultrasound which implies that men can be treated without even staying overnight at the hospital and completely avoiding the discomforting side effects that are associated with existing therapies.

A study in UK has discovered that HIFU offers ‘perfect’ results with no major side effects and safe from cancer 12 months post treatment in nine out of ten cases. Conventional therapies or radiotherapy can only offer the perfect result in only half of the cases currently. Experts have specially mentioned that the results obtained due to HIFU are ‘very encouraging’ and are a ‘paradigm’ shift in the treatment of cancer.

HIFU therapy in India minimally tends to spread Prostate Cancer

HIFU does not involve admitting patients for nights and is a general procedure performed under local anesthesia that is entirely free from radiations. As HIFU is not surgical, there is absolutely no loss of blood or incisions and brings recovery quickly. If need be, it can be repeated also and can also be done to save spreading of prostate cancer if other therapies fail. As HIFU therapy is a highly sterile process, the ultrasound energy does not cause any harm to any of the tissue in the periphery of the targeted focal point.

Advantages of HIFU therapy:

• No loss of blood
• Recovery is quick
• It is a non surgical process
• Free from radiations
• No need of getting hospitalized
  

This is by far the most advanced technique which is highly apt for treating prostate cancer of low grade. It does not involve surgery, radiation-free, good control over cancer, minimal production of cancer. In fact, after HIFU therapy, the quality of life improves and some other advantages of HIFU therapy also includes quick resumption to erections and good control on urine.

Radiation Oncology that holds great promise in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, particularly cancer.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful imaging technique in Radiation Oncology that holds great promise in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, particularly cancer. A non-invasive test, PET scans accurately image the cellular function of the human body. In a single PET scan your physician can examine your entire body. PET scanning provides a more complete picture, making it easier for your doctor to diagnose problems, determine the extent of disease, prescribe treatment, and track progress.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and CT (Computed Tomography) scans are advanced imaging techniques that physicians use to locate and pinpoint disease states in the body. A PET scan shows the biological function of the body before anatomical changes take place, while the CT scan provides information about the body’s anatomy such as size, shape and location. By combining these two scanning technologies, a PET/CT scan enables physicians to more accurately diagnose and identify cancer, heart disease and brain disorders. 

A PET scan helps in detecting the abnormalities of those areas of the body where chemical activity is happening. This scan is most effectively used for those people who have brain disorders, cancer or heart disease.

• Brain disorders : The different areas of the brain having majority of activities while performing various tasks can be revealed by a PET scan. Specific brain abnormalities can also be evaluated by this scan that includes:
  • Seizures
  • Memory disorders
  • Tumors
• Cancer : Bright spot of cancer cells can be seen in a PET scan due to their high metabolism rate as compared to normal cells. The scan helps in determining:
  • Whether the cancer has recurred
  • The response of the cancer to the treatment
  • The spread and extent of some cancers
• A proper interpretation of the PET scans is required as some non-cancerous conditions may look like cancer. It is also possible that certain cancer types may also not appear on PET scans. Following are the different cancer types that will appear on PET scans such as:
• Thyroid
• Brain
• Pancreatic
• Lymphoma
• Breast
• Melanoma
• Lung
• Cervical
• Esophageal
• Colon

PROSTATE CANCER: NO MORE A DEADLY DISEASE FOR MEN

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland in the male reproductive system that helps in formation and storage of seminal fluid. The prostate gland in a male body is located in pelvis under the urinary bladder  and in front of the rectum. In simple words we can define and understand Prostate cancer as one which is mainly associated with urinary dysfunction

Prostate cancer tends to develop in men over the age of fifty and very uncommon in men younger than 45 but becomes often common with the men of advancing age. As of 2011, prostate cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer death in males worldwide.

 Signs and Symptoms:-

 Early prostate cancer usually causes no symptoms because most of the prostate cancers are slow growing however, there are cases of aggressive prostate cancers with following symptoms:-

·         Frequent urination,

·         Nocturia (increased urination at night)

·         Hematuria (blood in the urine)

·         Dysuria (painful urination)

·         Difficulty in starting and maintaining a steady stream of urine

·         Loss of weight and appetite, fatigue, nausea, or vomiting

·         Weakness or paralysis in the lower limbs

   

Diagnosis:-

• Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test : A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm and analyzed for PSA, a substance that's naturally produced by your prostate gland. It's normal for a small amount of PSA to be in your bloodstream but if the value increases, the cause must be located.
• Ultrasound : If other tests raise concerns, your doctor may use transrectal ultrasound to further evaluate your prostate. This gives a clear picture of the prostate gland.
• Bone Scans and X-rays : It may reveal whether the cancer has invaded the bones. To perform a bone scan, doctors inject low doses of a radioactive substance into the patient's vein, which accumulates in bones that have been damaged by cancer.
• Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): During a DRE, your doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum to examine your prostate, which is adjacent to the rectum. It helps to detect any structural anomalies in the prostate.
• Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans : They can further pinpoint the location of cancer that has spread beyond the prostate.
• Biopsy : The removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist. The pathologist will check the biopsy sample to see if there are cancer cells and find out the Gleason score.

    Treatment for Prostate Cancer :-

·         Active surveillance:- It refers to the process of observation and regular monitoring and it               can be used effectively when prostate cancer is suspected in its early stage. It includes PSA blood tests and prostate biopsies.   

·         Surgery:- prostatectomy i.e Surgical removal of the prostate. It is most common mode of treatment either for early stage prostate cancer or for aggressive prostate cancer cases. It involves the two major kinds of radical prostatectomy those are radical perineal prostatectomy, and radical retropubic prostatectomy.       

·         Cryosurgery:- It is yet another method of the  treatment of prostate  cancer in which the prostate gland is exposed to freezing temperatures.

·         Radiation therapy:- It is also known as radiotherapy which is used  in the treatment of all  stages of  prostate cancer patients. There are two different kinds of radiation therapy used: external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy . Brachytherapy involves the surgical placement of radioactive seeds or implants directly into the cancerous portions of the prostate where the radiation kills the available cancerous cells.

·   Advanced Robotic Prostate Surgery  is now preferred choice for Prostate Cancer patients due to following unmatched advantages:-

•  Minimal Bleeding
• Much quicker recovery
• Reduced hospital stay
• Lesser pain killer requirements
• Improved preservation of physical appearance
• Three (3) D vision enables surgeon to perform Prostate excision with Cancer
• Control without risk of Post Surgery Continence (control over urinary and fecal discharge) and causing Impotency
