Down towards the bottom is talk about HIFU is what I see:

HIFU is only good if the lesion is right near the rectal area basically, and prostate size limits HIFU greatly.

Thanks for the link - I am a patient at both Prisma & SHRS & sadly am not a HIFU candidate.

..and UR right - HIFU is limited by range (size) and calcification. TULSA seems less limited by size but calcification is still an issue but TULSA also adds the precision of doing this under an MRI.

Too bad it's not in this area (yet).
