US HIFU to Fund Landmark Investigation of Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Date:2/24/2010

in the U.K.

"I believe that focal treatment is the future for early-stage, low-risk cancer. Considering the treatments that are currently approved and available worldwide, men with localized prostate cancer may often feel they must choose between active surveillance and radical therapy (surgery or radiation)," said Emberton. "Patients who opt to monitor their cancer run the risk of having the disease spread, while those who choose radical therapy are at increased risk for incontinence and impotence. I see focal therapy as a cost-effective solution that can potentially provide an optimal balance between cancer control and co-morbidity issues."

Naren Sanghvi, US HIFU's chief scientific officer, said, "The management of prostate cancer is entering a time of dramatic change. While surgery and radiation therapy will continue to play important roles in the treatment of some patients, new approaches designed to serve those with minimal, focal or slow-growing cancer, for example, deserve scholarly attention and merit evaluation in bona fide clinical trials. The Emberton Study, supported by US HIFU, attempts to address issues central to an emerging new paradigm in cancer management which could be termed 'therapeutic surveillance.' The goal of therapeutic surveillance would be focal, possibly repetitive, cancer ablation with minimal morbidity facilitated by serial non-invasive imaging."
