In America, prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men, which is why having access to good treatment options is so important.

That’s why the Idaho Urologic Institute recently introduced a new procedure known as high-intensity focused ultrasound.

This treatment gives doctors a non-invasive way to target cancerous cells in the prostate, providing patients with an alternative to surgery.

Dr. Hasan Dani, board-certified urologist at Idaho Urologic Institute, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this procedure.
