High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) represents a fairly new treatment option for focal therapy of prostate cancer. However, studies evaluating its efficacy have not provided strong data to support the use of HIFU in the majority of patients. Thus, high-profile studies investigating feasibility of the modality in terms of adverse effects seem premature.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
