Recent focused ultrasound research covers a variety of applications. In oncology, two interesting studies looked at pancreatic cancer (safety and a comprehensive case review), and one discovered improved outcomes for localized prostate cancer. Cavitation-induced thrombolysis work is gaining ground, and another group provides cost-effectiveness data for uterine fibroid ablation.
