High intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU) at Safe Urology Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, is a precise focal therapy for localized prostate cancer. This non-invasive method uses high-frequency energy to destroy tumor tissue through extreme temperatures. The procedure targets the index lesion, which is the largest and highest-grade tumor in the prostate. This focused approach helps spare healthy surrounding tissue and reduces the risk of side effects compared to traditional surgery.
Safe Urology Clinic specializes in urological oncology and men's health, maintaining a 4.9/5 Google rating. The facility works with JCI-accredited partner hospitals to maintain high safety standards. Patients receive a personalized treatment plan that uses MRI guidance to pinpoint the exact location of the cancer. This technology allows the surgeon to control the growth of the lesion without treating the entire prostate gland.
The treatment typically lasts 2 to 3 hours and takes place under general anesthesia. It is an ideal option for patients whose cancer has not spread beyond the prostate tissue. Recovery is much faster than radical surgery or radiation therapy. Most patients can return to work after one week. The clinical protocol includes:
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tuncay Taş leads the clinical team at Safe Urology Clinic. As a urologist and urological oncologist, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Taş completed fellowships in urological oncology and laparoscopic urology at Heidelberg University. He is a respected academic with 300+ scholarly citations in his field. The clinic manages a high volume of cases, performing 30+ operations every month.
Beyond HIFU, the clinic offers other focal therapy options. These include MRI-guided focal cryoablation and focal laser ablation. The choice of method depends on the specific characteristics of the tumor and the patient's health needs. Each case is reviewed to see if focal therapy is the right path to control the cancer effectively.

Dr. Taş and his team performed the first PRP (P-Shot) and double PRP applications to the penis in Turkey, and published their clinical results on the efficacy of PRP in erectile dysfunction.
The team also achieved several national firsts in the field of regenerative urology and andrology:
Dr. Taş was among the first three physicians in Turkey (since 2012) to perform FDA-approved ED-1000 shock wave therapy, pioneering its scientific and clinical application for erectile dysfunction and vascular regeneration.
Dr. Taş and his team presented the results of combined PRP (Male P-Shot) and SVF applications to the penis for the first time in Turkey at a scientific congress, sharing the clinical outcomes of these regenerative therapies. He leads one of the first five centers worldwide to publish peer-reviewed clinical results of PRP (P-Shot) therapy and serves as a urology instructor at ISSCA, remaining actively involved in clinical regenerative medicine.
