May 27th, 2009 Posted in hifuRecently, a UK-based team working at a major London teaching hospital reported very poor 2-year follow-up data after treating a series of 31 newly diagnosed and 12 salvage patients with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) using second-generation Ablatherm equipment. They stated in their original paper that they had suspended their HIFU program as a consequence of their results.
