High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) among treatment alternatives for prostate cancer

Following up on my post yesterday regarding ablation treatments for prostate cancer, one of the ablation modalities noted was HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound. Unlike lasers, RF, microwave or cryotherapy, ultrasound offers superior control of energy output. 3D control and directionality of the energy delivered provides the ability to treat a prescribed target volume and shape [...]

Ablation and other energy-based technologies with multiple clinical applications

Manufacturers of ablation and other energy-base therapeutics are both witnessing and driving a steady evolution of multiple technologies with potential to produce therapeutic (or, in some cases, simply cosmetic) tissue effects, with different energy types competing head-on for caseload.  These innovators have continued to improve their understanding of the nature of each energy type’s impact [...]
