HIFU( High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound)

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device is one of the most advanced medical instruments in oncotherapy.

The entire physical tumor area can be observed by the use of b-ultrasonic waves.The location is accurately

positioned by the treating equipment under the operation and control of the computer.Once the tumor has been

located the equipment is used to transmit a large capacity ultra sound wave from  outside of the body to focus onto the

tumor tissue.Within seconds a high temperature of 70-100 degrees Centigrade is generated in the focused area,killing

the cancer cells within 0.1-0.25 seconds.

Treatment Range

It is effective for the tumors which can be observed clearly by b-mode ultrasound, such as for those occurring

in the abdominal cavity. This application is effective for cancers such as hepatocarcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma,

prostatic carcinoma, suprarenal carcinoma, rectal cancer, carcinoma of uterus, oophoroma, breast cancer,

metastatic carcinoma in the visceral cavity or in the pelvis, hysteromyoma and hyperplasia of prostate .It is also

useful for dermatoma or osteolytic sarcoma

Treatment Characteristics and Curative effect

1.The computer controlled system accurately focuses on and locks in to the location of the cancer cells.

It generates a temperature of  70°C - 100°C and instantly kills the cancer cells in the tumor within an area of

3x3x10 cubic mm. thus eliminating the tumor covering a large area.

2. Through the adoption of low intensity ultrasound there is no need for the use of anaesthesia

thus risk for the patient is reduced.

3. This method of treatment is very suitable and widely used in the cases of internal organs

carcinoma or metastatic carcinoma in the abdominal and pelvis cavities.

4. The course of treatment is non-invasive involving no perforations, no bleeding, no pain, no heat injury and

no burning experienced by the patients.

5. This is very unlike the use of radiotherapy or chemotherapy as no poisonous substances are used hence

there is no toxicity and no side-effects.

The immune system of the patient is not adversely affected at all.

6. This method can precisely locate the tumor site and does not affect the surrounding tissue during treatment.

It does not destroy the immune system.
