Transrectal high‐intensity focused ultrasound for treatment of localized prostate cancer

Abstract: Objectives:To assess the long-term outcomes of transrectal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for patients with localized prostate cancer. Methods: From May 2003 to present, 137 consecutive patients with T1-2 prostate cancer were treated using the Sonablate 500 and then followed for more than 12 months after their last HIFU treatment. A prostate biopsy was routinely carried out at 6 months and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was measured every 3 months after HIFU. Oncological outcomes as well as tr… Show more

“…Besondere Bedeutung besitzt die Applikation fokussierten Ultraschalls jedoch beim Prostatakarzinom, für welches es zu einer ernst zu nehmenden Alternative zur Resektion avancierte. So konnte bezüglich des onkologischen Ergebnisses derart behandelter T1-2-Prostatakarzinome eine Rezidivrate von unter 5% beobachtet werden [17].…”

“…However, complications, including three rectal burns, were reported in nine of the 14 patients (64%) in this pilot trial. Table 3 summarizes the largest clinical series reported and the outcomes achieved with both the Ablatherm and Sonablate HIFU devices, mainly for the primary treatment of localized prostate cancer 19–33 …”

“…The median PSA nadir was 1.2 ng/mL and was achieved after a mean time of 12 months, which is a higher value and longer period than those reported in other studies. In most cases, the PSA nadir is reached within 6 months after HIFU treatment 19–23,27–35 . Of the 84 patients who had control biopsies, 55 (65%) had positive biopsies.…”
