Investigators reported an 88% early treatment success rate in 52 men who underwent MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation for localized prostate cancer. Customized prostate ablation with ...

Enzyme ablation of the hyperplastic prostate may be an ideal method of management of BPH. However, the unsatisfactory ablation affects in vivo contrast with successful in vitro results limiting the ...

Research published in The Journal of Urology offers an alternative to invasive prostate cancer treatments like surgery and radiation. Standard treatments can have serious side effects such as urinary ...

Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA) was heralded as a minimally invasive alternative to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), but is now marketed as an alternative to ...

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 ...

Background: Androgen ablation is often used in addition to low-dose-rate brachytherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer, particularly for disease with adverse features. We report a ...

Francis Medical has obtained $80 million in venture capital funding to support the development of its water vapor ablation therapy for cancers of the prostate, kidneys and bladder. The series C round ...

Up until now, capturing an image of a prostate cancer has been difficult because prostate tissue and tumor tissue are so similar. Precise, non-invasive surgical treatment has proved difficult as a ...

Prostate cancers are either low-grade, low-risk forms that may be monitored but otherwise untreated, or they’re serious enough to require surgery and radiation. Monitoring can cause patients anxiety.

Focal laser ablation (FLA) for prostate cancer shows "promising early oncologic results" and "acceptable morbidity" in men with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer, concludes a new single-center ...

Patient selection and physician-patient commitment to careful follow-up surveillance are key. The following article is part of conference coverage from the 2018 Large Urology Group Practice ...

Prostate cancer patients may soon have a new option to treat their disease: laser heat. UCLA researchers have found that focal laser ablation - the precise application of heat via laser to a tumor - ...
