High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a technique that has been used to treat localised prostate cancer. There is no standard treatment for patients who relapse with prostate cancer following primary treatment with HIFU; here we report the case of a patient who was successfully treated with external beam radiotherapy for disease relapse following HIFU. To date, our patient remains disease free with no toxicity from his treatment.
高强度聚焦超声（HIFU）是一种已被用于治疗局限性前列腺癌的技术。对于接受HIFU初次治疗后前列腺癌复发的患者，尚无标准治疗方法；在此我们报告一例患者，其在HIFU治疗后疾病复发，接受外照射放疗后成功治愈。迄今为止，我们的患者疾病无复发，且治疗未产生毒性反应。
