To begin with let me point you to a list of studies. papers, posters on HIFU. Go to that page by clicking "here ".
Be very careful of what you read and what the definition of failure is. Unless they are the same as other studies it is useless to compare. In addition this listing is from the manufacturer of the equipment that is used in HIFU. this alone raises a red flag on what they allow to be published.
HIFU is being sold to Urologist for them to use in the treatment of prostate cancer and I believe it is being sold with little training. For treatments of any kind we recommend that the doctor has done 300 treatments of the prostate in the last 3 years (300-3). HIFU should be no different.
