EDAP TMS SA, the global leader in robotic energy-based therapies, announced the publication of the full results from the HIFI study in European Urology, which has the highest impact factor amongst scientific journals focused in urology. The study evaluated high-intensity focused ultrasound versus radical prostatectomy as a first line treatment of localized prostate cancer. 
A new study, published in Nature Communications and led by the University of Minnesota Medical School and Duke University, found that a DNA sequencing test for advanced prostate cancer patients can distinguish between patients with poor and favorable prognoses. The new blood-based test — called AR-ctDETECT — is designed to detect and analyze small fragments of tumor-derived DNA in the blood of certain patients with advanced, metastatic prostate cancer.
