The video segment highlighted the changing choices in treatment of localized prostate cancer as the Ablatherm-HIFU gains interest among physicians and patients for is less invasive method, total treatment time of less than 2 hours and lower side effects.

Dr. Murat, a long-time Ablatherm-HIFU practitioner, is featured characterizing the treatment as a now proven choice showing Ablatherm-HIFU to be as effective as traditional methods but offering a better quality of life after therapy.

Also featured is a patient who experienced a recurrence of cancer 3 years after his initial treatment by radiation. He turned to Ablatherm-HIFU with its one-of-a-kind specialized post-radiation protocols and was successfully cured rather than being left at a therapeutic impasse.

Ablatherm-HIFU is internationally recognized as the clear HIFU leader in localized prostate cancer and now becoming more widely available in many regions around the globe.
