Abstract

HIFU has acquired wide acceptance in the few last years due to its minimal invasiveness and high effectiveness in prostate cancer patients' treatment. According to latest data, negative biopsy results are observed in 86.4% of treated patients and biochemical relapse-free survival reaches 77%. Yet, negative biopsy results fail to exclude neither the presence nor elevated subsequent recurrence risk. Morphologic studies show limited ability of common H&E method to detect small cancer focuses after HIFU, so the cancer recurrence is infrequently diagnosed only in subsequent biopsies.
