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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Prostate cancer may soon be treated more effectively using ultrasound at therapeutic levels, without the significant and distressing side effects of more traditional treatments. A new study presented ...

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 ...

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 novel MRI-guided procedure that uses therapeutic ultrasound effectively treats prostate cancer with minimal side effects, according to a new study. Researchers said the incision-free technique could ...

MRI-guided TULSA uses a transurethral catheter to precisely apply ultrasound and MRI-guided thermotherapy to ablate cancerous tissue within the prostate gland. The widespread use of prostate specific ...

A targeted molecular-imaging method under development at Rochester Institute of Technology could help detect early stages of prostate cancer and improve image-directed biopsies. RIT professor Hans ...

Under adequate local anesthesia, the size of the transrectal ultrasound probe made no difference to pain perception during transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy, according to a PubMed report.
