What Is HIFU?
HIFU is a non-surgical medical treatment that uses concentrated ultrasound energy to destroy targeted tissue inside the body. Instead of making cuts or performing open surgery, HIFU delivers focused sound waves from outside the body directly to the tumour. When these sound waves converge at a precise point, they generate heat strong enough to destroy abnormal cells while minimising damage to the surrounding healthy tissue.
Because there are no incisions involved, HIFU is considered a minimally invasive procedure. This typically means less pain, a lower risk of complications, and a faster recovery compared to conventional surgery. HIFU is used to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, liver cancer, and pancreatic cancer, offering patients a modern treatment option when surgery may not be ideal or preferred.
How Does HIFU Work?
HIFU works by delivering highly focused ultrasound energy directly to the targeted tissue without the need for surgery. The technology allows doctors to precisely concentrate heat on abnormal cells while minimising damage to surrounding healthy structures. Below is a simplified explanation of how HIFU works for uterine fibroids, pancreatic cancer, and liver cancer.
1. HIFU for Uterine Fibroids
- High-intensity ultrasound waves are precisely focused on the fibroid using imaging guidance to protect healthy tissue.
- The concentrated energy generates heat of around 60–90°C only at the target point.
- The heat destroys fibroid cells (thermal ablation) without any incision or open surgery.
- Over the following weeks to months (around 90 days), the body naturally absorbs the treated tissue and the fibroid gradually shrinks.
2. HIFU for Pancreatic Cancer
- Ultrasound waves are precisely directed at the pancreatic tumour using imaging guidance for accurate targeting.
- The focused energy raises the temperature to above 80°C at the tumour site only.
- The high heat destroys cancer cells (thermal ablation).
- Over the following weeks to months, the treated tumour gradually shrinks.
3. HIFU for Liver Cancer with Cirrhosis
- The HIFU device is placed on the skin, delivering ultrasound energy from outside the body directly to the tumour without any incision.
- Ultrasound waves are precisely focused on the cancer tissue.
- The temperature at the targeted area rises above 60°C.
- The high heat destroys cancer cells through thermal ablation.
- Because the energy is concentrated only on the tumour, surrounding healthy liver tissue remains relatively protected—especially important for patients with cirrhosis.
