The 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. High PSA levels are a warning sign for ...

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.

The study population had a mean age of about 65, PSA value of 8.5 ng/mL, tumor diameter on MRI of 14-15 mm, and prostate volume of 41 mL. More than 70% of patients had ISUP 2 lesions, and about a ...

To perform prostate cancer biopsies, doctors use a technology called MRI fusion-guided biopsy. This technique combines MRI with a transrectal ultrasound to more precisely sample prostate tissue. The ...

Patients are put under anesthesia, and a rectal probe is placed which enables real-time imaging and treatment. After the machine takes an image of the prostate, the doctors outline the treatment area ...

It is called the High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or HIFU for short. It uses heat energy to target cancerous cells in the prostate, eliminating the cells without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.

Doctors can often cure prostate cancer using a range of treatments that may include radiation therapy in combination with surgery to remove the entire prostate gland, called radical prostatectomy.

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 ...

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer that hasn’t spread outside of the prostate, you may need a procedure to treat the tumor.

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 ...
