Ablatherm® efficiency on long-term results
• Follow-up:– PSA: 3 months and every 6 months
thereafter.
– Prostate biopsies: • 3 - 6 months after HIFU• in case of rising PSA (> 0.75 ng/ml/year).
• Patient record updates: May and August 2006.
Ablatherm® efficiency on long-term resultsStudy Population
• 140 patients
– Mean age: 69.1 ± 6.6 years – Mean PSA: 7.0 ± 3.5 ng/ml– Mean prostatic volume: 25.9 ± 11.2 cc
51,4% Low risk48,6% Intermediate risk

• HIFU devices
– Average HIFU sessions = 1.3– ≤ 3 months hormone-therapy:
• 16.4%
• stopped by the time of HIFU treatment• no statistical influence on oncological data
54,3% Prototypes45,7% First generation
Ablatherm® efficiency on long-term resultsGeneral Results
• Mean Follow-up:
6.4 ± 1.1 years
• PSA:– Mean PSA nadir: 0.62 ± 1.15 ng/ml.– Median PSA nadir: 0.16 ng/ml– Mean time to PSA nadir: 5 months
• Control Biopsy:
– Negative in 86.4 % – Low / intermediate risk patients: No difference (p = 0.31)

Ablatherm® efficiency on long-term resultsTake home message
• HIFU is a valid indication for localized prostate cancer in patients not suitable (age, co-morbidity) or refusing surgery.
• HIFU offers: – A high tumor local control
– A long-term efficacy comparable to other non-surgical options
A real ALTERNATIVE TO RADIATION or any other minimally invasive therapy
