Earlier this week, researchers presented data from the OPTIMUM (Optimization of Prostate Biopsy – Micro-Ultrasound Versus MRI) trial at the European Association of Urology Congress in Madrid, Spain.
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 ...
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 ...
Micro-ultrasound has recently been introduced as a low-cost alternative to multi-parametric MRI for imaging prostate cancer. Early clinical studies have demonstrated promising results; however, robust ...
Biopsies guided by high resolution ultrasound are as effective as those using MRI in diagnosing prostate cancer, an international clinical trial has shown. The technology, called micro-ultrasound, is ...
The original dataset as reported in 22 was made up of 305 patients. One central transverse image and one central sagittal image of the prostate was acquired from each patient, with expert markings ...
