September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. At HPS, we want everyone to be aware of the prevalence of this disease and how it can impact you, your spouse, father, uncle, brother, or friend. Here are the facts: 1) Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men in the U.S and in fact, 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes and for black men, 1 in 7 will develop the disease. 2) As men increase in age, their risk of developing prostate cancer increases exponentially; about 6 in 10 cases are found in men over the age of 65. 3) A man is more likely to develop prostate cancer than he is to develop colon, kidney, melanoma, and stomach cancers combined! 4) Prostate cancer can be silent — it’s important to get checked, even if you do not have any symptoms. Bottom line, we encourage all men to get screened! If caught early enough, these men may be eligible for Sonablate HIFU, a minimally invasive treatment with minimal side effects.

Spotlighting HIFU physicians throughout the US gives allows us to feature urologists that are making Sonablate HIFU available to men with localized prostate cancer in their communities. In today’s spotlight interview, Dr Marco Salazar, MD, Ph.D of EVERGREEN HEALTH UROLOGY CARE in Kirkland, Washington explains why he decided to be a physician, why he became interested in HIFU for localized prostate cancer, and what he tells his patients to expect after HIFU. “HIFU plays an important role in the options for the treatment of prostate cancer. As in the case of the partial mastectomy for breast cancer, not all prostate cancer requires treatment of the entire organ. For those men who have localized disease where active surveillance is not enough, but radiation or prostate removal is too much, prostate HIFU fills a critical need in addressing the cancer while maximizing quality of life, “said Dr Salazar when asked why he decided to offer Sonablate HIFU to his patients with localized prostate cancer.” Click on the link below to learn more about Dr Salazar! https://lnkd.in/eJJFz8Mg #healthcare #prostatecancer #urology #hifu #patientcare #qualityoflife #cancertreatment #Sonablate #hospitals #experience #minimallyinvasive

Exciting News! New clinical data on Sonablate® HIFU for focal prostate ablation was published in Scientific Reports, showing favorable treatment effects compared to robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. The study analyzed 144 patients and found no significant difference in failure-free survival after 36 months between RARP and #Sonablate HIFU. Notably, HIFU patients had significantly better urinary function quality of life scores than RARP patients. The win ratio favored HIFU for better treatment effects in both oncological and functional outcomes.

Spotlighting HIFU physicians throughout the US gives us an opportunity to feature urologists that are making a difference in their communities by making Sonablate HIFU available to men with localized prostate cancer. In today’s spotlight interview, Dr Alexander Ivey of Tennessee Valley Urology Center in Cleveland, Tennessee explains why he chose urology as his medical specialty, what he tells his patients to expect after HIFU, and where he feels HIFU fits in the prostate cancer landscape. “HIFU has far less side effects than other available treatment options and is a one-time outpatient procedure without any incisions.
