TIRAT CARMEL, Israel, 13 de julho de 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A InSightec Ltd., líder global de tecnologia de ultrassom concentrada guiada por ressonância magnética e a única empresa a receber aprovação do FDA para o seu sistema ExAblate® para o tratamento de fibroides uterinos, anunciou hoje que 23 pacientes com câncer de próstata de baixo risco confinado em órgão já foram tratados com o sistema ExAblate® em testes clínicos com resultados iniciais promissores.

O objetivo dos testes é demonstrar a viabilidade do uso do sistema ExAblate® MR-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS - Ultrassom focado guiado por ressonância magnética) nos tratamentos de próstata endoretais e para avaliar a segurança e eficácia preliminar do tratamento. Os testes foram aprovados por comitês éticos locais.

O tratamento varia deste um tratamento focal até quase a completa ablação da glândula, dependendo da decisão clínica dos pesquisadores. Dos 24 tratamentos em 23 pacientes, 5 tiveram quase a ablação completa da glândula com a preservação da potência do esfíncter urinário e grupos neurovasculares 18 tiveram tratamentos focais. Nenhum dos tratamentos (glândula total ou focal) causou Eventos Adversos Severos durante nem após o tratamento, e nenhum exigiu intervenção pós-tratamento, demonstrando um bom perfil de segurança.

O câncer de próstata é um dos cânceres mais comumente diagnosticado em homens. Aproximadamente 900.000 novos casos são diagnosticados anualmente no mundo. As opções de tratamento são prostatectomia (remoção cirúrgica da glândula da próstata), radioterapia, braquiterapia (implante de sementes radioativas), e crioterapia. No entanto, as opções de tratamento existentes são associadas com um alto nível relativo de eventos adversos, dentre eles, a impotência e a incontinência, que afetam substancialmente a qualidade da vida dos pacientes de câncer de próstata.

"Estamos muito contentes com o resultado inicial e com o índice de recrutamento de pacientes para estes testes", disse o Dr. Kobi Vortman, Presidente e CEO da InSightec. "Uma das metas do programa de câncer de próstata ExAblate® é demonstrar que um tratamento eficaz não necessita ter sérios eventos adversos como impotência e incontinência. Estamos muito otimistas com estes resultados antecipados que nos dá esperança de que seja possível no futuro oferecer para os pacientes de câncer de próstata uma opção de tratamento com um menor índice de complicações, comparado com as opções atualmente disponíveis".

Os testes clínicos estão sendo realizados em 4 locais: Sapienza University of Rome, Itália, The National Cancer Centre Cingapura, The NN Petrov Institute of Oncology, São Petesburgo, Rússia, e Jaslok Hospital and Research Center, Mumbai, Índia. A InSightec em breve ampliará seus testes clínicos de próstata para outros principais locais.

"Alguns dos meus pacientes expressaram preocupação com a preservação da função sexual e a continência e eu os informei sobre o tratamento MRgFUS como uma opção de pesquisa para pacientes com câncer de próstata de baixo risco", disse o Professor Associado Christopher Cheng, Dirigente e Consultor Sênior do Departamento de Urologia do Singapore General Hospital, Cingapura. "Até agora, 9 pacientes se inscreveram no teste no nosso centro com bons resultados iniciais e esperamos que com o tempo, esta técnica promissora passe a ser uma opção padrão para o tratamento de pacientes com câncer de próstata de baixo risco".

Sobre o ExAblate®

O ExAblate® é um sistema de cirurgia acústica robótica não invasivo guiado por imagem. O sistema ExAblate® é o primeiro a usar a tecnologia de ultrassom concentrada guiada por ressonância magnética que combina MRI - para visualizar a anatomia do corpo, planejar o tratamento e monitorar o resultado do tratamento em tempo real - e o ultrassom focado altamente intenso para ablação térmica de tumores dentro do corpo de forma não invasiva. A termometria MR fornecida com exclusividade pelo sistema viabiliza que o médico controle e ajuste o tratamento em tempo real para garantir que o tumor objeto do tratamento seja tratado sem que os tecidos da área sejam afetados. O sistema ExAblate® foi aprovado pelo FDA dos EUA em 2004 para o tratamento de fibroides uterinos sintomáticos. Mais de 8.000 pacientes foram tratados em todo o mundo até hoje com excelentes resultados. O ExAblate® 2000 recebeu a Marca CE Europeia para alívio da dor em metástases ósseas em junho de 2007 e para adenomiose em junho de 2010.
