MRI/ultrasound combination effective for treating prostate cancer
A new, minimally invasive procedure that combines MRI and transurethral ultrasound is effective for treating prostate cancer, according to research presented March 20 at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) meeting in Salt Lake City. A team led by Steven Raman, MD, of the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that the treatment -- dubbed MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) and performed by interventional radiologists -- proved a viable alternative to surgery or radiation, showing a recovered continence rate of 92% at five-year follow-up.
