US HIFU Adds Mark Carol, MD, As Chief Development Officer

rt for the initiation of a larger trial with additional sites to examine the role of focal therapy in the treatment of primary, organ-confined prostate cancer. We look forward to completing these clinical trials in the U.S. and elsewhere as we strive to provide state-of-the-art technology for the treatment of this wide-spread disease."

The majority of men treated for prostate cancer are treated with surgery or radiotherapy, which involve treating the whole prostate. Both cause damage to the surrounding non-cancerous tissue and can lead to substantial side effects such as urinary incontinence and impotence. The goal of focal therapy is to offer an alternative to men who value genito-urinary function and quality of life, allowing each patient and their physician to balance the risk and clinical benefit of individual treatment options.

HIFU is a therapy that destroys targeted tissue with rapid heat elevation. HIFU concentrates high frequency ultrasound waves (similar to a magnifying glass) into an area the size of a grain of rice. At that location, or focal point, the temperature rapidly rises to almost 90 degrees Celsius (195 degrees Fahrenheit). Tissue at the focal point, including cancerous tissue, is destroyed. HIFU uses non-ionizing energy, so the procedure can be repeated, if necessary. HIFU is being studied around the world to treat a wide variety of cancers and soft tissue diseases.
