I had prostrate cancer but wanted 100% gone, not just 80%. I have been cancer free for several years now and doing great, thanks to catching it early and good treatment.

Instead, why doesn’t medical science try to find the cause of prostate cancer.

Less myeloma risk?

This reminds me of a liver cancer treatment, where they insert to steel rods so the cancer is between the two points. Then they turn on the electricity and burn out the cancer area. Works.

"Instead, why doesn’t medical science try to find the cause of prostate cancer."

I think the cause of many cancers is simply "human frailty". Chromosomes are very complex molecules that many cells in the body must be able to duplicate EXACTLY and sometimes that duplication must be carried on many, many times.

The mechanism for duplicating these complex molecules is itself extremely complicated and subject to external interference from unavoidable environmental processes.

As long as most people reach child-bearing years there will be little evolutionary pressure to make the process better. It's simply good enough as it is. That is why we have about 8 billion people on the earth.

As some point, perhaps when we have 800 billion people, the conditions will become so bad that population will limit itself due to those conditions and our population will stabilize; with the inevitable fluctuations, of course.

I am actually pretty enthused about this development. I can foresee using focused sound to ablate tumors throughout the body, hopefully with extremely early detection, such that little damage is done. With the possible exception of the brain, I think this might be doable.

The necessity to insert a probe to get close to the tumor may be eliminated if the sound creation device is large enough to be located outside the body. The system might be similar to the device used to create fusion energy; that is multiple transducers all generating a small sound wave and pointed precisely so as to hit a small, cancerous target.

I take Finasteride, and it does indeed work (slowly).

Women can't get prostate cancer?!?!? Hater! Bigot! The SJW's will surround your house and march until you recant.

Ultrasound for imaging is safe for babies.

Not the same power strength or exact frequncies.

Much like anything else in the world, the frequency matters, and the power behind the signal matters, and how its delivered matters, continuous or pulsed.

implants and external beam radiation damage healthy tissues such as the rectum and bladder and can leave a nasty case of radiation proctitis etc. It can also make follow up surgery in the area messy to impossible

Ultrasound is physical vibration, like waves in water. Radiation is electromagnetic vibration. Similar in concept but different things.

That’s a common “entrance”. You get numbed up with lidocaine jelly first. I’ve been cathterized that way before surgery a couple of times - its not that bad.

"Radiation is electromagnetic vibration"

The definition is not limited to electromagnetic radiation.

Once again...

Definition of Radiation

1a : the action or process of radiating
b : the process of emitting radiant energy in the form of waves or particles
c(1) : the combined processes of emission, transmission, and absorption of radiant energy
(2) : the transfer of heat by radiation — compare conduction, convection
2a : something that is radiated
b : energy radiated in the form of waves or particles

Sonic waves are not excluded!

Seven years ago was treated for prostate cancer using proton radiation. Successful and benign treatment, the only invasive part was implanting bits of gold around my prostate to act as markers. The only side effect to the treatment was loose stools. Problem with the treatment is that it is very expensive, compared to other methods, plus there are not very many proton treatment facilities.

Blast away, I don’t care.

Blast away? Hardly. Your idea has been around for just about a hundred or so years, maybe longer. A sci-fi novel by Robert Heinlein, written in the early 1940's but not published until after the war, had as one of its 'predictive elements' a device that could cure practically any disease simply by 'tuning' it to the proper 'frequency' for that person and their disease.

There have been scams using the idea as well, getting desperate terminally ill people to pay for 'treatments' and 'therapies' that involve fancy words like "electro-magnetic resonances" and such, even to this day.

I have thought that there is a 'resonant frequency' for each cell type that only those cell types will respond to. We have all seen that if you hit the resonant frequency of a crystal wine glass with enough power, it will shatter. Also, we have seen the film of the 1940 original Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse because of its resonance with the wind. I would think that the same thing would happen with a cancer cell.............. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge_(1940) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXL3GdZlw88

Yes, it works, because the liver is unique among our organs, in that, it can heal and regrow a damaged section.........
