Cancer (PSA) Control   Quality of Life
The Prostate Cancer Center Mission Statement

We are committed to educating prostate cancer patients about alternative high tech minimally invasive therapeutic prostate cancer treatment options that emphasize non surgical, radiation free therapies such as HIFU and Cryotherapy and offering access to these therapies in our center of excellence in Hilton Head, SC and through our affiliated international HIFU centers in Mexico, Canada and the Bahamas.

What is HIFU and How is it Used in Prostate Cancer Therapy?

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a state of the art technology utilizing the power of ultrasound to destroy deep seated prostate tissue without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue. The HIFU energy is focused sharply from the transducer surface to the targeted tissue in the prostate. Temperature is elevated in the targeted tissue up to 90 degrees C within one second causing cell death. The therapy consists of placing HIFU lesions (each requiring only a few seconds to create) side - by - side until the entire prostate gland has been "painted" with HIFU energy. HIFU, available at our affiliated international treatment centers in Mexico, Canada and the Bahamas, is only approved by the FDA for investigational use within the United States.
