Hi IIona,
Thanks for your message. Firstly can I apologise about the delay in getting back to you, I have had problems with my emails not coming through to me. We have plenty of information on our web site about clinical trails,statistics and data on HIFU and other prostate cancer treatments see www.ukhifu.co.uk/clinical-trials.htm
In terms of price HIFU is still available on the NHS to UK residents with a UK GP at the UCLH in London. Alternatively private treatments start at £9,000 in the South West of the UK and up to approximately £12,500 in central London.
If we can help you with any more information you are really welcome to call one of our technical advisors who as well as answering your questions could also put you in touch with some previous HIFU patients in the UK.
Anything else I can help you with please let me know.

Hi Guy,
You are asking about HIFU treatments in Italy. I work for a company in the UK that provides HIFU treatments at various hospitals in the UK. If you want any further information have a look at our web site www.ukhifu.co.uk or give us a call on +44 1761 415570 if you would like to discuss HIFU treatments further and find out if it is a suitable treatment option for you.

Hello Jessica, just been looking through the website and found your message. Will look up the website you mention. In the meantime looking for a HIFU treatment in the UK. We are British living in the US and my husband has just been diagnosed with PC. He is a suitable candidate for Hifu, but we read so much conflicting information, especially on side effects and prognosis. Seems there is no data to read. Has your organisation got any viable data on follow up of the patients you treated and how well they are doing.
What is the cost of Hifu in the UK. We read it used to be on NHS but has been withdrawn. Would welcome any information on it. We are from Surrey.
regards Ilona
