Executive Summary
Two-year trial data have revealed that Urologix' shortened, cooled thermotherapy system, Targis, is as effective in treating non cancerous prostate growth, in under 30 minutes, compared with the alternative 60-minute treatment. In a randomised trial of 94 men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), there was no significant difference between the conventional 60-minute and 28.5-minute Targis treatment, reported researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern, Dallas, Texas. The factors assessed included symptom score, peak urinary flow or quality of life.
