A transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate may also be called a prostate sonogram or endorectal ultrasound. A doctor usually performs a TRUS to help diagnose prostate cancer or detect prostate ...

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 ...

It’s the second most common type of cancer among men and affects 1 in every 8 men in the United States. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and the American Cancer Society says this type of ...

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 ...

Routine prostate cancer screenings save lives, yet some men still avoid them. However, making the process more streamlined increases the likelihood that men will get the tests they need to catch ...

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 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.

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.

An ultrasound-based treatment for prostate cancer showed better safety and operative metrics versus robotic radical prostatectomy in an early analysis of a first-ever randomized trial. After 6 months ...
