Rebiopsy For Prostate Cancer After HIFU? Dr. Mistry Answers a Listener's Question and Discusses HIFU

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener who asks: "Are prostate biopsies still needed for active surveillance following HIFU treatment for low grade PC, and if so, how often?" Dr. Mistry explains that although prostate cancer is sometimes thought of as a less dangerous type of cancer, it actually kills as many people each year as breast cancer does. Both preventative screenings and treatments have improved, and HIFU is an excellent option that we often offer to our patients for localized prostate cancer. Dr. Mistry argues that after treatment for prostate cancer, rebiopsy is rarely necessary to monitor disease progression. Instead, PSA levels and MRIs can help him determine if there is cause for concern. As always, Dr. Mistry advocates for a second opinion, so if you or someone you love has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and would like to learn more about HIFU and whether you would be a good candidate for this procedure, please give us a call today!If you enjoyed today’s episode, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share us with a friend!
