This sounds promising and uniquely simple. I wish fighting all cancers could be this *easy*.
“ Ultrasound Plus MRI May Be New Treatment for Prostate Cancer”
A portion of article is below;
“ Precisely delivered ultrasound could be an effective treatment for prostate cancer, with high-frequency sound waves heating and killing off cancer cells, a new study says.”
“The treatment killed off all prostate cancer cells in 76% of men who underwent a follow-up biopsy one year later, researchers said.”
“It also cut down on unwanted side effects, such as incontinence and sexual dysfunction.”
“ In the procedure, MRI scans are used to precisely apply ultrasound to a man's prostate cancer, through a small catheter-like device inserted through the urethra.”
"This image-guided therapy maximizes our ability to kill cancer cells while minimizing collateral damage to the prostate to achieve the ultimate trifecta in prostate cancer treatment: full local cancer control while maintaining urinary continence and potency," lead researcher Dr. Steven Raman, a professor of radiology, urology and surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, said in a news release.”
