Access to HIFU treatment

Firstly, The answer to the question where to access HIFU treatment is a short list in the UK. However, it should be noted that Consultant Urological Surgeons who offer HIFU to their patients will also offer Active Surveillance. Further they will be PROMIS compliant, using mpMRI for diagnosis as well as transperineal biopsy to assess the cancer cells.

Offering these services is a prerequisite to being able to offer HIFU as a therapy. 

As of today, there are a few centres offering HIFU, but as the results of the recent  HIFU research, the CHRONOS study, has had such encouraging results, more centres and Urologists are now offering HIFU. Further, NHS  reimbursement rates for HIFU have increased.

Further a  charity, Prost8 has a campaign to raise money, with the specific purpose of providing focal therapy (HIFU, Nanoknife and Crotherapy) at 12 centres around the country.

This page will be updated as these centres ‘come on line’ .We strongly encourage you to donate.

Currently where to access HIFU treatment is via the following Urologists and their teams who offer a HIFU service. Remember you are perfectly entitled to ask to be referred to these Consultants and their teams, both on the NHS and privately.

HIFU treatment for prostate cancer recurrance following Radiotherapy is offered by Professor Hashim Ahmed and Tim Larner.
