Melanoma patients could be spared from unnecessary surgery Researchers have shown for the first time that patterns of ultrasound signals can be used to identify whether or not cancer has started to spread in melanoma patients, and to what extent. The discovery enables doctors to decide on how much surgery, if any, is required and to predict the patient's probable survival. http://www.news-medical.net/news/20090923/Melanoma-patients-could-be-spared-from-unnecessary-surgery.aspx

New non-surgical technique that can help doctors determine when breast cancer has invaded the lymph nodes A key question after a cancer diagnosis is whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found a new non-surgical technique that can help doctors determine when breast cancer has invaded the lymph nodes, sparing some women an extra trip to the operating room. http://www.news-medical.net/news/2004/11/29/6525.aspx
Ultrasound therapy does nothing to help an injured skeletal muscle heal any faster Although ultrasound is one of the most frequently prescribed treatments for one of the most common sport and athletic injuries – skeletal muscle contusions – there's really no good scientific evidence showing that it treats injured muscles effectively, said Steven Devor, the study's lead author and an assistant professor of sport and exercise sciences at Ohio State University. http://www.news-medical.net/news/2004/04/14/511.aspx
