I know one of the negative long term side effects of radiation therapy is the possibility of secondary cancers. Years down the road. And that is a particular concern for younger guys. While I suspect that this is not a long term side effect of HIFU (since it is not radiation) I haven’t heard much in this regard.
I had it 6 years ago still cancer free.
Did you do the whole gland or partial?
@@dmcarden The whole gland. And I was mistaken it’s been 9 years.
@paulsdrc Where did you have it done? Were you part of a clinical study?
@@bmrbca3658 Dr. Lazar of Cal HIFU did it
@paulsdrc Was your HIFU done at UCLA?
