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 five-year study on subjects who had only the cancerous portion of their prostate glands destroyed shows that the procedure averted cancer recurrence in most patients while preserving urinary and sexual function.
