SAN ANTONIO -- A comparison of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and radical prostatectomy (RP) found that HIFU was non-inferior to surgery as primary treatment for localized prostate cancer, ...

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) - a technology used to treat localized prostate cancer - has shown adequate control of prostate cancer while avoiding major side effects of surgery or ...

EDAP TMS (EDAP) announced the publication of the full results from the HIFI study in the prestigious, peer-reviewed journal, European Urology, which has the highest impact factor amongst scientific ...

Summary: This is the first randomized controlled clinical trial comparing focal therapy with robotic surgery. The data suggest that at one-year post treatment, Focal One achieved good oncological ...

Focal therapy, including HIFU, targets only cancerous prostate areas, preserving organ function and minimizing side effects like erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. HIFU is suitable for ...

Hemiablation HIFU for Prostate Cancer Data confirm that HIFU is not a safe option for patjents with high-risk prostate cancer. Whole gland high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is less ...

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 ...

Final results demonstrate a significantly higher salvage treatment free survival rate (STFS) at 30 months of 89.6% in the HIFU-treated arm versus 86.2% in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy ...

But my general bias as someone who does surgery—prostate removal, using robotic surgery—I don’t personally believe HIFU adds anything to that. In my experience with my patients who have had their ...
