Professor Igor Aboyan, the center's lead physician, and Dr. Sergey Pavlov, head of the surgical department, and Dr. Konstantin Badyan and Dr. Armen Galstyan, who oversees the new Sonablate HIFU program, trained in the technology in preparation for the first HIFU prostate cancer treatment on January 18. The physicians performed eight additional procedures over the next three days.

"The technology is new and is very exciting to our colleagues. We were happy to have such a good start and hope to help many more men not only from our region but from the nearby regions as well," said Aboyan.

Specialists from the U.K. and doctors from the NII of Urology, Russia's main urological institute located in Moscow, assisted with the initial procedures. Physicians from NII began performing Sonablate HIFU procedures in 2008.
