HOUSTON, Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A radiation-free, minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that targets and kills prostate cancer cells is now available at more imaging centers operated by HALO Diagnostics (HALO Dx), an industry leader in advanced diagnostics for early cancer detection.

Known as TULSA-PRO®, this procedure from Profound Medical Corp (Profound) is performed in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suite. It combines real-time MRI and robotically driven transurethral ultrasound technology to pinpoint and destroy prostate cancer cells with ablation – a process that delivers a focused, high-temperature beam. Physicians can see the prostate at all times. This view protects the urethra and rectum from being accidentally impacted, protecting the patient's natural functions and reducing the risk of incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

The radiation-free, image-guided prostate cancer treatment, TULSA-PRO is now available at a laser focal therapy center.

By incorporating TULSA-PRO®, HALO Dx increases the number of individualized services it can offer to patients with prostate cancer. HALO Dx has a 14-year history as a pioneer with another minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment, Focal Laser Treatment, that also significantly reduces side effects. The addition of TULSA-PRO® makes HALO Dx the first center nationwide to offer both procedures.

"Every patient is unique, and treatment should fit with each man's diagnosis and lifestyle," said Ara Karamanaian, M.D., head of the HALO Men's Prostate Program. "Men have come from all over the world to HALO Diagnostics for Focal Laser Therapy, and now we provide two options – not just one."

The addition of TULSA-PRO® comes through a multi-site agreement with Profound, a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, minimally invasive therapies for diseased tissue ablation.

"With these early-detection tools and game-changing therapeutics, HALO Dx is bringing the same proactive healthcare to men's health that mammograms have provided to women for decades," said John Feller, M.D., HALO Dx's chief medical officer.

"We are changing the treatment paradigm for treating prostate cancer. As a pioneer in prostate cancer therapeutics, HALO Dx offers MR imaging under two energy options that allow men a choice," he said. "Each option gives men the confidence they will maintain their current lifestyle. We are focused on providing personalized and precision-focused healthcare for our patients."
