FUS ablation or HIFU – This is a non-invasive organ-preserving procedure that allows you to influence the tissues of benign and malignant tumors of various localization.
It is based on the ability of ultrasonic waves to pass through tissues without damaging them. An increase in temperature, which leads to necrosis of tumor cells, is achieved at a specially set point using a lens. This point is called "spot".
The essence of the method : ultrasonic radiation is focused on a specific area inside the body. In a few seconds, the fabric is heated to a temperature of 55-85°C and begins to break down. Next, the ultrasound is transferred to the adjacent area of the tumor. Such manipulations are repeated until the surface of the entire node is processed.
The required number of FUS-ablation sessions is determined by the doctor after a thorough examination.
Where can I get FUS ablation?
Currently, FUS-ablation is successfully used to treat tumors of various origins. The presence of modern equipment and qualified specialists in foreign medical centers ensures the accuracy of ultrasound exposure and the high efficiency of this method. In the CIS countries, the use of the FUS-ablation method is currently not widespread.
Bookimed patients have been successfully treated with HIFU ablation in medical centers in Israel and Turkey.
