Subject: Calcification within the Prostate
Date: 04/02/2008

My husband has been on watchful waiting for almost 3yrs, seriously considering the HIFU as the only, least invasive, quality of life sustaining treatment. He has seen a physician in Heidelberg, Germany and have been in contact with another phycician in Vienna,Austria both performing HIFU.

All seemed well with HIFU until he had a TRUS done which revealed calcification within the Prostate.

One Dr. advised against HIFU in his case, whereas the other schedule the procedure.

Has anyone who has had HIFU performed dealt with calcification within the Prostate?, if so please advise the outcome!

Totaly confused, concerned and bewildered

I have not had any calcification within the prostate but when I was talking to the Sonablate people, they informed me that was one of the reasons why the Sonablate system can alter the intensity of the ultrasound to handle various situations with prostate tissue. You might want to contact USHIFU at www.ushifu.com or call them at 1-888-874-4384 or check Toronto CAN-AM HIFU at 1-877-787-5906. Both places can give you a lot of information. CAN-AM HIFU is part of USHIFU.
