MRI-guided Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation (TULSA) for Prostate Cancer

[madman]

In this 19-minute presentation, Laurence Klotz, MD, Professor of Surgery at the University of Toronto and the Sunnybrook Chair of Prostate Cancer Research, discusses the technology, procedure, outcomes, and regulatory environment surrounding MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) treatment for patients with prostate cancer. He cites data from a clinical trial that demonstrates 96 percent of patients had a PSA reduction ≥75 percent at 12 months and at the 12-month MRI the median prostate volume had decreased from 41 to 4 cc (a decrease of 90 percent). Further, the treatment preserved continence and erectile function.

Newest kid on the block!

* The TULSA Procedure is a new solution for men with prostate disease, including prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that is incision-free, radiation-free, and performed in an outpatient setting.

Profound Medical develops customizable, incision-free therapies which combine real-time Magnetic Resonance (“MR”) imaging, thermal ultrasound and closed-loop temperature feedback control for the radiation-free ablation of diseased tissue.
