Destroying Prostate Cancer With Novel Noninvasive MRI-Guided Ultrasound Treatment – Scitech Daily

Video shows animation of MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) procedure. TULSA works by delivering precise doses of sound waves to diseased prostate tissue while sparing the healthy nerve tissue surrounding the prostate.

• Transurethral ultrasound ablation effectively treats prostate cancer with minimal side effects.
• Clinically significant cancer was eliminated in 80% of the study participants.
• The noninvasive technique can also treat benign enlargement of the prostate.
