MR Imaging-Guided Prostate Cancer Therapies
Radiol Clin North Am. 2024 Jan;62(1):121-133. doi: 10.1016/j.rcl.2023.06.012. Epub 2023 Jul 28.ABSTRACTProstate cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed in men. MR imaging-guided therapies for prostate cancer have become an increasingly common treatment alternative to traditional whole-gland therapies, such as radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy. This is especially true in men with localized, low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Although long-term oncologic data remain limited, the authors describe several MR imaging-guided therapeutic options for the treatment of prostate cancer, including cryoablation,...

Sequential high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment combined with chemotherapy for inoperable pancreatic cancer: a retrospective analysis for prognostic factors and survival outcomes
CONCLUSION: Early application of HIFU treatment improves the OS of patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer. CRP + CA125 and γGT are independent prognostic factors.PMID:37945310 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2023.2278417 (Source: International Journal of Hyperthermia)
