@brianjarvis WOW - a complete kibosh to TulsaPro.
I was not aware, however, that HIFU was ever used for pain palliation in bone metastasis, were you?
But then again, they are approving its use in THAT case since it probably is never even considered…

@heavyphil Late prostate cancer metastasis to bone is typically treated with Xofigo (Radium-223) or Pluvicto (Lutetium-177) if it’s systemic.

I’ve never heard of HIFU being used for that purpose. But, for an isolated bone lesion it makes sense (instead of surgery or SBRT) - HIFU is targeted, non-invasive, & can be repeated if needed.
