"High intensity focused ultrasound in patients with previously untreated
prostate cancer is generally well tolerated and it has the potential to
completely ablate the prostate gland. With further refinement of the
optimal treatment dose and technique this technology has the potential
to be an effective form of therapy for localized prostate cancer."

Not only. My experience is only one person in one hospital. But three
months after my HIFU on the seminal vesicle by Mark Emberton's team at
UCHL it looks like the first step has been taken to proving it works
just as well with advanced Pca Stage T3c.
