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 ...

An ultrasound scan can be used to detect cases of prostate cancer, according to new research. Researchers at Imperial College London, University College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An ultrasound scan can be used to detect cases of prostate cancer, according to new research. Researchers at Imperial College London, University College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS ...

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.

The report suggests that high-resolution micro-ultrasound could help identify clinically significant lesions that would be missed with conventional MRI. High-resolution micro-ultrasound (micro-US) ...
