Prostate cancer is a highly frequent tumor in men with a very versatile clinical course, being able to behave in a very benign or very aggressive way.
One of the challenges facing prostate cancer urologists is to achieve an accurate and rapid way of detecting prostate tumors. Some of the most important advances in recent years have been MRI and image fusion biopsies.
However, this new ExactVu™ micro-ultrasound technique allows real-time visualization of the prostate and guided biopsies, both systematic and targeted. In this way, tumors that MRI misses can be detected and facilitates visualization of the peripheral area of the prostate. This is important because seventy percent of tumors are detected in this area.
This technology, far superior to the standard, allows us to obtain an image quality 300% higher than that of other ultrasound scanners. This image quality allows us to diagnose a higher number of cases of prostate cancer at earlier stages of the disease. With earlier diagnosis, patients are more likely to be cured and have access to more effective treatments with fewer side effects.
The new system is the first of its kind to be installed in the province of Las Palmas. Thus, the ExactVu™ biopsy is the fastest, most advanced, effective and sensitive alternative to accurately diagnose prostate cancer. "It also manages to significantly reduce the time needed to perform it; it can be done in approximately 20 minutes, much less than the time needed for a fusion biopsy," Dr. Pablo Juárez explains. details Dr. Pablo Juarez del Dago, Medical Director of our center and specialist in Prostate Cancer.
