Dec. 4, 2024 - EDAP TMS SA, a leader in robotic energy-based therapies, recently announced the publication of the full results from the HIFI study in the peer-reviewed journal, European Urology. The study evaluated HIFU versus radical prostatectomy (RP) as a first line treatment of localized prostate cancer. The paper, “Whole-gland or Subtotal High-intensity Focused Ultrasound Versus Radical Prostatectomy: The Prospective, Noninferiority, Nonrandomized, HIFI Trial,” is authored by Dr. Guillaume Ploussard from Department of Urology, UROSUD, Clinique La Croix du Sud, France.
