Early detection of prostate cancer has revolutionized treatment outcomes, allowing patients to opt for minimally invasive procedures that are both effective and gentle on the body. One such breakthrough innovation is HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) — a non-surgical, radiation-free treatment that precisely targets cancerous prostate tissue while preserving surrounding structures.
At Rahee Health Care, Bibwewadi, Pune, Dr. Rajeev Chaudhari, a leading Consultant Urosurgeon & Andrologist, offers advanced HIFU treatment for early-stage prostate cancer, combining cutting-edge technology with personalized care. His expertise ensures that patients receive safe, effective, and minimally invasive solutions tailored to their diagnosis.
The prostate gland, located below the bladder in men, plays an essential role in semen production. Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably within this gland. In its early stages, the cancer is often confined to the prostate and may not cause symptoms — making regular screening and PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing crucial for early detection.
Increasing age (men above 50 years)
Family history of prostate cancer
High-fat diet or obesity
Genetic mutations
Chronic inflammation or hormonal factors
When detected early, prostate cancer can be managed effectively with minimally invasive treatments like HIFU, offering excellent long-term control with minimal side effects.
HIFU is a minimally invasive procedure that uses precisely focused ultrasound waves to generate intense heat at the target site within the prostate. This energy destroys cancerous cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissues such as nerves and the urinary sphincter.
Under anesthesia, a probe is inserted into the rectum to deliver ultrasound energy.
The focused ultrasound waves heat and ablate (destroy) the targeted cancer cells.
No incisions or radiation are required, resulting in minimal pain and faster recovery.
At Rahee Health Care, Pune, Dr. Rajeev Chaudhari performs HIFU using state-of-the-art imaging and targeting systems to ensure precise cancer control and excellent patient outcomes.
HIFU offers several advantages over traditional surgery and radiation therapy, especially for early or localized prostate cancer.
Minimally invasive and incision-free
Quick recovery and shorter hospital stay
Reduced risk of urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction
Preserves surrounding tissues and nerves
Can be repeated if necessary for recurrence
No need for external radiation
These benefits make HIFU a preferred choice for many patients seeking effective prostate cancer treatment in Bibwewadi, Pune.
HIFU is most effective in men with early-stage, localized prostate cancer (confined within the prostate). Ideal candidates include:
Patients with small, low- to moderate-risk tumors
Men who wish to avoid the risks and side effects of radical prostate surgery
Those unfit for surgery due to other medical conditions
Patients experiencing recurrence after radiation therapy
Before recommending HIFU, Dr. Rajeev Chaudhari conducts a thorough evaluation, including MRI scans, PSA testing, and prostate biopsy, to confirm suitability for this approach.
Pre-Procedure Assessment: Comprehensive imaging and biopsy determine the cancer’s stage and location.
Anesthesia: The patient is given spinal or general anesthesia for comfort.
Ultrasound Probe Placement: A transrectal probe delivers focused ultrasound energy to target and destroy cancerous cells.
Monitoring: The surgeon uses real-time imaging for precision and safety.
Recovery: Patients typically go home the same or next day and can resume normal activities within a few days.
At Rahee Health Care, HIFU is performed under strict safety protocols and advanced monitoring to ensure a smooth and successful experience.
HIFU allows for faster recovery compared to conventional prostate surgery.
Post-procedure care includes:
A short-term urinary catheter (for 1–2 weeks)
Regular follow-up appointments to monitor PSA levels
Mild lifestyle adjustments to aid healing
Ongoing surveillance for any signs of recurrence
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and quickly return to daily routines, thanks to the precision and minimally invasive nature of HIFU.
