High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive way to destroy tissue or stop it from working. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for prostate ablation in 2015, but the ...

One in eight men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. Surgery to treat the disease can lead to unwelcome side effects. A minimally invasive alternative that avoids surgery is now available ...

The report suggests that high-resolution micro-ultrasound could help identify clinically significant lesions that would be missed with conventional MRI. High-resolution micro-ultrasound (micro-US) ...

Precisely delivered ultrasound could be an effective treatment for prostate cancer, with high-frequency sound waves heating and killing off cancer cells, a new study says. The treatment killed off all ...

An ultrasound scan can be used to detect cases of prostate cancer, according to new research. Researchers at Imperial College London, University College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS ...

LAS VEGAS -- Focused ultrasound ablation for prostate cancer proved at least equivalent to radical prostatectomy for failure-free survival, according to a randomized trial reported here. After 3 years ...

A new type of ultrasound scan can diagnose most cases of prostate cancer, according to trial results published in Lancet Oncology. The study is the first to show that multiparametric ultrasound (mpUSS ...

Well demarcated hypoechoic areas in suspicious regions on MRI identify men more likely to have Gleason 7 or higher prostate cancer found on biopsy. Ultrasound characteristics of prostate regions that ...

A multicenter clinical study in Austria has shown that a new, highly precise ultrasound approach can successfully target and treat early prostate cancer while preserving patients' quality of life.

Researchers in the UK have demonstrated a new kind of ultrasound scan can diagnose prostate cancer with accuracy equal to costly and time-consuming magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The findings offer ...

A new study showed that men treated with ultrasound experienced a 92% decrease in average prostate size within a year, and a healthy decrease in PSA levels at five years. Photo by Adobe ...
