13 Recent HIFU for prostate cancer treatment Reviews: Check Real Patient Experience

Denis Balla • Radiofrequency ablation Albania Dec 2, 2024

Verified review.
Bookimed.com is a very good platform, and I am happy that I have found this platform. About my experience it wasnt what I was expecting, not for bookimed fault, but mostly from hospital, medical staff and assistants. Somehow I can sum it up as I was part of a very strange experience, where everything is beautiful in words, but not in reality. In the end all I have are words, maybe a little improvement on my health condition - but not a real fix, and no documents at all about my medical treatment.
Hospital building is very good.

First of all I would like to thank the Bookimed support team, especially the coordinators for the work they did and putting together the programme in the shortest possible time. I requested an online consultation with a Turkish oncology professor and was pleasantly surprised that within 48 hours after the request my consultation took place. I was left with only positive emotions after the consultation. Special thanks to the coordinator Yulia Voloshchuk and Anya Patarkalashvili!

Very pleased with the attitude towards patients. The staff was polite and courteous. They responded quickly to all my needs. They suggested the best alternative treatment and were very tactful during the operation. The operation was done under local anaesthesia, and painkillers have very little effect on me, but the doctor was very sensitive and understanding of my condition and patiently waited and increased the dose of anaesthesia until the action started. And during the whole operation constantly asked about my condition and even on small reactions of pain, which were reflected apparently in my face immediately responded. And the assistants (nurses) were close by, giving emotional support. I would especially like to mention the attitude of the interpreter Rabia, who was always in touch with me throughout my stay and answered at any time of the day, despite the workload I saw. This is very human of her when you don't know anything and don't know the language. I would like to thank the clinic and all the medical staff for the help provided and for the sensitive attitude towards each client.

I would like to share my positive impression of the clinic and bookimed.com. First of all, I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of the examination - all procedures were organised quickly and clearly, without long waits. The clinic is equipped with modern equipment, which inspires confidence and gives confidence in the accuracy of diagnosis. I would like to emphasise the responsiveness and professionalism of the staff. Each employee showed attention and care, which made the treatment process much more comfortable. A pleasant addition was the work of interpreter Gulnara and coordinator Zahida - it greatly facilitated communication with doctors and understanding of all stages of examination. I would also like to express my gratitude for the transfer and the work of the driver, which helped to save time and eliminated the need to think about the road. In general, the best impressions were left. Many thanks to the whole team of the clinic for the high level of service and human attitude!

From visiting the clinic and undergoing examination were only negative impressions. Appointed to the doctor for 10 days at a certain time, and got an hour later! All tests were taken promptly, in 1 day and promised the results and a visit to the doctor in 2-3 days (the doctor himself said that everything needs to be done very quickly, because I needed urgent treatment), and silence .... Irada I didn’t answer calls ... We only got contact with the help of Bookimed employees! In general, we got to the doctor only after a week, and we were told that we needed to do another examination !!! (remembered) In general, we lost time in vain, which is very important for cancer patients, nerves and money ... Many thanks to the girls from Bookimed for support, help and patience Ie !!! I am grateful to Katerina, Daria, Olga and Darina for the help and support !!! I do not recommend Medipole. I am undergoing treatment in another clinic!

My assessment of the clinic was only because I did not stay there, only about 20 minutes for an OSTA examination. I was expecting a full examination because I was invited to the Ichilov-Surasky clinic, but was only in two private clinics for consultations. I chose the Vital hotel exclusively because of Considerations to be close to the clinic. Thank you very much Bookimed for choosing a clinic for us for 3 months and keeping in touch with us throughout the time that we were there, but their partners who deal with us upon arrival in the country are negligent about worn and not fully perform their obyazonnosti.Im want to advise humanity, we (people with health) eat with the hope of recovery!

I am writing a review for those people who are in the same difficult situation as our family. Just want to warn, think before you go here. They did not help us ... Moreover, now we understand that they simply did not tell us the truth, promised treatment that everything would be fine and we believed in it, sincerely! They didn’t save on treatment, did everything they recommended, but they just cheerlessly pumped chemistry and prescribed unnecessary consultations like a physiotherapist with charging a hopelessly sick person !!! The company "phoenix" is a soulless creature with the function of receiving money, I don’t even know how to call them anymore ... Doctor Professor Eger also smiled on detours and said that everything would be fine and didn’t even tell the family that the situation was getting worse, she appointed procedures ... As we now understand, everything was clear for a long time, we just wanted to be "treated" because we paid. They tortured our daddy heartlessly and cynically for money !!! Curator Stoyanova stopped responding to letters and the phone immediately, as soon as they informed her that the patient no longer exists. NO ONE! neither she, nor "phoenix", nor the clinic, they even expressed condolences ... It hurts to realize that nothing human is left in people ... We scolded our Russian doctors, and they just told us the truth right away

The consultation was abit rush as the doctor had other engagement and needed to leave for urgent duties. On the treatment aspect, hope to have more explanation and medical advice. On request, the coordinator brought us to visit the wards and private rooms and that helped me to understand the environment if I choose to treat in Fuda hospital.

My hair transplant and my wife rhinoplasty, it was great. Also we did our teeth, they butchered my teeth, I did not know they were going to shave down all my teeth, I had a very good teeth but I want to better, the dentist said you have a nice teeth, but never told me not to do, when did the teeth they put treaty together like a bridge, versus doing one at a time, now I do not have space between them, besides completely ruined my teeth, they didn’t do the proper way, he and Brazil I went to see a dentist and they told me this technique is prohibited here because they did butchered my wife in my mouth, both of us did our teeth. I had another big problem with my liposuction, very bad side effects, because I didn’t have enough fat, but Dr. Baki did with out even looking my body. My surgery was done Saturday, I called them on Monday but no one saw me until Wednesday, I finally saw the doctor and he said nothing to worry about that was normal, for sure it was nothing normal about the surgery, I sent pictures to doctors all of them sad that I need to take care of that and I couldn’t even travel, Dr. Baki sad in 40 years he never saw such a thing, but he said that was going to be fine, I travel back the following Friday to Brazil, I went to see a plastic surgeon, he said that I almost died, thank God I’m here, they did not care about my health, horrible communication with the doctor, when I spoke to a few people that takes care of the patients there, they told me that they would get right back to me, they would not get back to me for 10 hours, that’s for me was crazy. When I set up the appointment, I really want to talk to Hakan, they told me that I would do with him but they offer me Dr. Baki and I told them I did not want Dr. Baki that I wanna dr. Hakan, The day that I was supposed to see Hakan They told me that he had Covid and he could not do my surgery, I thought was weird, so they told me Dr. Baki was going to do my surgery and Dr. Baki was much better surgeon, I didn’t feel good about this but I went anyway. I reached out to Dr. Hakan and found out that he never had Covid and also I never had an appointment with him and that he was booked out. So I’m not sure if I would recommend them, I’m spending money after the surgery and they didn’t even offer to pay part of it, it is almost 2 weeks after my surgery and I’m still bruised all over and I’m really in bad situation. Did 2 Stars was giving because the booking team they are unbelievable nice and they do deserve 10 stars, but the people they assigned me had few things that I didn’t like it push a different doctor, and also the doctor did not do a good job . I do not recommend I will post pictures, also I will post pictures of my teeth before and after

Within 5 days, we received the necessary treatment and good service. The doctors were very skilled and experienced.

All You Need to Know about HIFU for prostate cancer treatment

What is HIFU for Prostate Cancer?

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment option for prostate cancer. It uses focused ultrasound waves to heat and destroy cancer cells without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. This minimally invasive procedure offers several advantages over traditional treatments like surgery or radiation therapy:

  • Minimally invasive. HIFU involves minimal discomfort and no cuts to the skin.

  • Precise targeting of cancer areas preserves healthy tissues.

  • Short hospital stay. Most patients can go home on the same day as the procedure.

  • Rapid recovery. Recovery is typically quick, allowing patients to resume normal activities within two weeks.

  • Reduced side effects. HIFU is less likely to cause erectile or urinary problems compared to other prostate cancer treatments.

  • Retreatment options. HIFU can be repeated if the cancer returns, and it can be combined with other treatments as needed.

Who Is a Candidate for HIFU?

HIFU is typically considered for patients with:

  • Localized prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate tissue. The most suitable patients have prostate cancer in stage T1 or T2 and with a Gleason Score under 7.

  • Low-grade or intermediate-risk prostate cancer, which is regarded as slow-growing. Patients undergo active surveillance and may be considered for HIFU once the tumor starts growing.

  • Previous treatment failure occurs when patients experience a recurrence after radiation therapy.

  • Contraindications to other treatments due to health reasons.

HIFU may be less effective for men with enlarged prostate glands (BPH) or calcifications. These conditions can limit the energy's reach and cause urinary problems due to increased swelling of the targeted tissue.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

The HIFU procedure typically involves the following steps:

  1. Preparation with general anesthesia. The doctor will also insert the catheter to remove any liquids from the gallbladder.

  2. Ultrasound imaging. The doctor inserts a transrectal ultrasound probe to visualize the prostate gland.

  3. Focused ultrasound involves directing high-intensity ultrasound beams at the cancerous area. High-frequency ultrasound for prostate cancer heats the cancer cells at up to 110 С° temperature, destroying them.

  4. Recovery iswhen the patient is monitored in a recovery room and discharged on the same day. Most patients can return to their everyday lives for a few weeks after the procedure.

There are two types of HIFU:

  • Focal HIFU is intended for the small area in the prostate tissue;

  • The whole prostate HIFU directs beams at the entire gland.

What Are the Side Effects of HIFU Treatment?

While focused ultrasound for prostate cancer is generally considered a safe procedure with minimal side effects, some patients may experience:

  • Urinary incontinence is expected in the first days after. It will stabilize in 1 month-period maximum.

  • Blood in the urine may occur for a short period after tumor destruction. Doctors recommend higher water intake at this time to speed up the recovery process.

  • Erectile dysfunction is a potential long-term side effect, but the risk is lower compared to some other prostate cancer treatments (like chemotherapy or radiation therapy).

  • Incontinence is less common but may occur in some cases.

Where Is HIFU Treatment Available?

Bookimed has picked the most acknowledged hospitals based on our Smart Ranking System. They have the well-experienced doctors and the best equipment to guarantee a successful outcome.

Memorial Şişli Hospital, Turkey

The "master of urology", Dr. Murat Binbay, is an internationally certified robotic surgery expert. He combines HIFU with HOLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) to decrease patients' time with catheters and improve their urinary function.

Samsung Medical Center, Republic of Korea

According to the hospital's data, they achieved an 87% success rate of high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment. Samsung is the top hospital in South Korea that has HIFU treatment available. The doctors cooperate with MD Anderson Medical Center in the USA to implement new treatment approaches.

Samsung is the most comprehensive cancer center in Asia. The patients may refer to the Bookimed International Patient Support Center for direct consultation with the hospital's oncologists.

Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital, Turkey

Dr. Ilker Comez is a prostate cancer specialist who uses HIFU and a minimally invasive surgery called LSP (laparoscopic simple prostatectomy).

The doctor is committed to reducing lower urinary tract symptoms, such as frequent urination and incontinence. He has made substantial contributions by combining LSP with HIFU, even for advanced prostate cancer.

How Much Does HIFU Treatment Cost?

The starting cost of HIFU treatment for prostate cancer is $8,500 in Turkey and goes up to $19,000 in Korea.

The cost of the ultrasound treatment for prostate cancer depends on several factors:

  • Country. The prostate cancer treatment cost can differ by 10-40%, depending on the country. For instance, the price for HIFU in Germany is about 15-20% higher than in Turkey but about 5-10% lower than in Korea.

  • Doctor's Expertise. A specialist with extensive experience in HIFU procedures and numerous certifications may charge a higher fee for focused ultrasound surgery.

  • Additional Services. Some hospitals offer package deals, while others may charge separately for each service (such as treatment, language assistance, or transportation).

How Does High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Differ From Other Options?

Procedure Advantages Disadvantages

HIFU

Minimally invasive, preserves sexual function, and quick recovery. It may not be suitable for large tumors or advanced-stage cancer.

Cryotherapy

Minimally invasive, quick recovery. It can cause tissue damage and incontinence.

Proton Beam Therapy

Precise targeting, minimal side effects. Expensive, limited availability.

Surgery (Prostatectomy)

It can be curative for early-stage cancer. Risk of incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

How to Find the HIFU Cancer Treatment Centers?

Choosing the right treatment center is crucial for a successful HIFU procedure. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a facility:

  • Center's recognition by international organizations;

  • Physician's accreditations and years of experience;

  • Patient reviews;

  • Financial coverage (such as insurance options);

  • Geographic location.
