Will I need other treatments after HIFU?

This will depend on how your tumour responds to the treatment. HIFU can be effective as a standalone therapy for some patients, especially when the tumour is small and clearly defined. However, you need additional treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, or repeat HIFU to achieve the best long-term result. Your consultant will review your scans, monitor your progress and talk you through the most suitable next steps.
