EDAP can treat prostate cancer by focusing ultrasound waves at just the target region, similar to how a magnify glass can focus light from the sun so intensely that it can burn a piece of paper, allowing it to eliminate the cancer while limiting side effects, CEO Ryan Rhodes explains to Bloomberg Intelligence. In this Vanguards of Health Care episode, Rhodes sits down with BI analyst Matt Henriksson to talk about his path from Intuitive Surgical to lead EDAP, how the Focal One robot uses high intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU, to ablate prostate cancer without needing an incision or removing the whole prostate and how the HIFI Study shows that Focal One can be a viable alternative to radical prostatectomy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
