%X HIFU shows a successful treatment for localized prostate cancer. Here we explored the effectiveness of the HIFU treatment for the prostate cancer, hormone-resistant prostate cancer and failure after external beam radiotherapy and radical prostatectomy. 795 patients were treated in our centre in 2007 ¨C 2012: Kaplan-Meir analyses of the total group indicated that the risk of progression was 23% after 5 years of follow-up. Our experience shows that HIFU ablation is safe, minimally invasive, effective treatment with moderate side effects for the PC, hormone-resistant prostate cancer, HIFU also may be used as a salvage therapy.
