HIFU Prostate Cancer Treatment in Mexico. Non-Invasive, Great Results, Minimal Risk Therapy Within Reach.
Monterrey, Mexico, August 9, 2010
Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer among men, especially in those over 50. There are many ways of fighting prostate cancer including radiation therapy, proton therapy, hormonal therapy, and surgically removing cancerous tissue (radical prostatectomy).
However, even though all these methods are highly successful, they take their toll on the body and may have serious side effects. Patients risk permanent damage to their urinal tract or their seminal vesicle, which can lead to erectile dysfunction and impotence as well as pain while urinating. Thankfully there is a painless solution called HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) with all the benefits but minimized risk of side effects.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses ultrasound to heat and destroy pathogenic tissue. It was invented in the 1940’s but since then, it has evolved to its modern state and is recognized as a safe, innovative, and non-invasive way to fight prostate cancer. Its special technology allows inner tissues to be elevated to extreme temperatures by crossing sound waves at certain depths. Thus the cancerous cells can be heated up and destroyed without having to make any incisions. It has been shown to be quite effective and reliable, and while it is in its final stages of approval in the US, it is currently performed by over a hundred doctors around the world.
Take for example the case of Sean, a 48 year old man, still in the premature stages of prostate cancer. Sean had great insurance that would have covered his traditional prostatectomy procedure in the US but he valued minimizing the risk of erectile dysfunction or urinary problems. Thus he ruled out radiation or a radical prostatectomy and searched for other options. After surfing the web he found that HIFU fulfilled all his specifications, and began to look for the closest high quality destination to go and get it. After carefully examining options, he chose Travel For Care to guide him in traveling to Mexico for this delicate procedure. Monterrey was hands down, his best option due to its proximity, its top-notch facilities, and its experienced staff. He specifically asked for Dr. Carlos Garcia, MD, to perform this treatment, one of the most experienced in his field, being on the front lines of this technology since its inception. His overall cost was under $25,000, which is only a fraction of what prostate cancer treatments are in the US and Europe.
Once again, Mexico shows its great private healthcare system is fully prepared to serve hundreds of thousands of Americans and Canadians in the look for affordable, high quality care. It’s not just about tummy tucks anymore. The level of complexity of treatments sought by foreigners here is on the rise. So if you, or someone you know is interested in the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment please call Travel For Care at (800)-571-0640.
