What are the alternatives to HIFU for small, localised tumours?

Several treatments can be considered for small, localised tumours, depending on the type of tumour and its location. Options may include surgery to remove the tumour completely, radiotherapy, or minimally invasive treatments such as cryotherapy (freezing the tissue) or radiofrequency ablation (heating the tissue using electrical energy). In some cases, active surveillance may be suitable, especially if the tumour is slow-growing and not causing symptoms. Your consultant will review your scans, discuss the benefits and limitations of each option and help you choose the most appropriate treatment for your situation.
