Echotherapy treatment launched in UK

For the first time in the UK, the London Endocrine Centre (LEC) in Harley Street has installed echotherapy - a non-invasive ultrasound-based treatment for two pathologies (mainly affecting women): thyroid nodules and breast fibroadenoma.

For the first time in the UK, the London Endocrine Centre (LEC) in Harley Street has installed echotherapy - a non-invasive ultrasound-based treatment for two pathologies (mainly affecting women): thyroid nodules and breast fibroadenoma. The Clinical Services Journaleditor Alec Peacheycaught up with Dr Paul Jenkins at the LEC and Michael Leach, vice president  (UK,NE, India, MEA) of Theraclion - a company specialised in leading-edge medical equipment for echotherapy.

Treating these two pathologies with surgery involves incisions, scars, general anaesthesia and hospitalisation. Echotherapy offers patients a non-invasive alternative in both of these diseases without a scar, hospitalisation, or general anaesthesia and with an immediate recovery. Echotherapy can treat fibroadenomas and benign thyroid nodules in a targeted way, respecting the integrity of the surrounding tissue.

With all these benefits it is perhaps surprising that adoption of treatment in the UK has taken so long.
