Transrectal high-intensity focused ultrasound for the treatment of prostate cancer: past, present, and future
Indian J Urol.
2010 Jan-Mar.
Abstract
Upon a review of recently published articles on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of prostate cancer, we evaluated the current status of HIFU as a primary treatment option for localized prostate cancer and its use as salvage therapy when radiation failed. We also briefly discuss current issues in indications, definition of response, and finally the future of HIFU development.
Keywords: High intensity focused ultrasound; indications; outcomes; prostate cancer.
