About the offer

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive and promising treatment for cervical cancer. It uses focused ultrasound waves to destroy cancer cells while leaving the surrounding healthy tissues unharmed. HIFU is an outpatient procedure that is performed without any incisions or scars. HIFU is an effective treatment for early-stage cervical cancer and can be used as a primary treatment or in combination with other therapies. It can also be a palliative treatment for advanced-stage cervical cancer to alleviate pain and other symptoms. During the procedure, the patient lies on a table, and a probe is inserted into the vagina. The ultrasound waves are focused on the cancerous cells in the cervix, destroying them with heat. HIFU is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes 1-3 hours. The benefits of HIFU for cervical cancer treatment include a lower risk of complications, minimal side effects, and a quicker recovery time than traditional treatments. Therefore, patients can return to their daily activities within a few days after the procedure. HIFU has been shown to have a high success rate for treating early-stage cervical cancer. Additionally, HIFU is also effective in treating recurrent cervical cancer.
