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 ...

Researchers in the UK have demonstrated a new kind of ultrasound scan can diagnose prostate cancer with accuracy equal to costly and time-consuming magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The findings offer ...

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 ...

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. An ultrasound scan can be used to detect cases of prostate cancer, according to new research. Researchers ...

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can help some men with prostate cancer avoid surgery or radiation. In recent years, a new treatment strategy known as focal therapy (partial gland ablation) ...

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 ...
