Urologist Dr. Stephen Scionti, of Coastal Carolina Urology, and Associate Clinical Professor of Urology at New York University School of Medicine, is hosting a series of community information sessions about emerging minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment options.

There will be a presentation here in Savannah, on Tuesday, May 28, 2009 from 6:30pm-7:30pm Holiday Inn Express 199 E. Bay St.

The free information session will provide an opportunity for men and their families to learn about new technologies and therapies for prostate cancer and allow them to ask questions.

During the presentation, Dr. Scionti will also discuss his experience with HIFU, which stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound.

HIFU is a state-of-theart technology that uses the power of ultrasound to destroy deep-seated tissue with pinpoint accuracy for treatment of prostate cancer.

HIFU focuses sound waves in a targeted area, which rapidly increases the temperature in the focal zone, causing tissue destruction.

HIFU is not approved for use in the U.S. but is undergoing Phase III clinical trials as a treatment for prostate cancer across the U.S.

The session is open to all and refreshments will be provided.

To RSVP call Coast Carolina Urology at 1-866- 422-2282.
