“I feel like [HIFU] provided patients this intermediary treatment option…It was less invasive than radiation and surgery, but still provided cancer control, or at least for some patients delayed the time until they needed a more radical treatment,” says Jennifer A. Linehan, MD.

In this video, Jennifer A. Linehan, MD, discusses her clinical practice and experience with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for patients with prostate cancer. Linehan is an associate professor of urology and urologic oncology at Saint John’s Cancer Institute in Santa Monica, California.
