摘要
A method for HIFU treatment of localized prostate cancer in a patient includes identifying the cancer locations in a patient's prostate; visually segmenting the patient's prostate into areas for analysis and treatment, where the section including the area of most aggressive cancer is determined to be the primary area. The primary area is subjected to a first full HIFU treatment for a period intended to ablate the cancerous tumor. HIFU treatment is then stopped on the primary area and the primary area is allowed to rest while simultaneously subjecting the next contiguous area of the patient's prostate to a first HIFU treatment to ablate any additional areas of suspected cancer in the next contiguous area. HIFU treatment is then stopped in the contiguous area. The primary area is then subjected to a second full HIFU treatment to ensure the complete ablation of the cancerous tumor.
