Ablatherm-HIFU is widely regarded as the most advanced and clinically proven HIFU device for prostate cancer. HIFU therapy is fully approved in Europe, Canada, Australia and other regions as a noninvasive therapeutic choice offering patients a high rate of success with low side effects. The treatment is also proven effective with low side effects for patients suffering a recurrence of localized prostate cancer after prior radiation therapy.

Ablatherm-HIFU therapy is reimbursed in certain markets and the company continues to seek additional reimbursements. EDAP is presently increasing its marketing activity in conjunction with its approval for use in key European markets and a growing clinical interest from the urology community based on published and peer reviewed studies supporting Ablatherm-HIFU as an effective and attractive therapeutic choice for nonsurgical patients. Clinical studies are being conducted in the United States using Ablatherm-HIFU through EDAP's US partner HealthTronics.
