September 20th, 2008 Posted in hifu, prostate cancer, prostate cryotherapyProstate-Sparing Targeted Therapies (Cryotherapy And HIFU) were reviewed by Dr. Ivan Colon, Assistant Professor of Urology, SUNY Downstate Medical School, and the use of HIFU for this indication was discussed by Dr. Ivan Grunberger, Associate Clinical Professor of Urology SUNY Downstate Medical School and Chief, Division of Urology New York Methodist Hospital.
The conclusions of their presentations were very similar. Both felt that focal ablation was technically feasible utilizing the respective technologies but that the data was far too immature to be able to recommend either as a standard of care.
