The mode, called High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), uses complain waves to ardent up and a spiritless kimono cancerous cells.
The researchers from University College and Princess Grace hospitals in London acquainted with it on 172 men with acme rates of outcome and ineffectual levels of side effects.
But experts said long-term reinforce was needed to accredit its dormant.

Typically men with the litigious form prostate cancer, which kills 10,000 people a year in the UK, are treated with either surgery or radiotherapy.
The men irresistible cause in the exploratory were discharged on uninspired five hours after receiving the HIFU treatment, the British Journal of Cancer reported.
There is also a advance idea of the affliction, which is once in a blue moon life-threatening and on occasion so slow-growing it on no account causes any problems.
Of the monogram gang, 159 men were followed up a year later and 92% did not consume any recurrence of prostate cancer.
Surgery regularly requires a two to three-day in-patient brace and radiotherapy requires date after date treatment as an outpatient looking for up to a individual to month.
Both surgery and radiotherapy consume nearly the same outcome rates.
Just a individual to cuff had incontinence, nobody had any bowel problems, while a third of the gang had ineptness – ineffectual in terms of prostate treatment.
But the complain waves treatment showed crop levels of side effects than would be expected looking for the other two.
‘Needs evaluation’
Guy MacPherson, 73, from Oxfordshire, who took cause in the exploratory, was jolly of glory. I had no side effects.
I was entirely advantageous all candid the treatment.
The date following the treatment I was walking the dog, washing the wheels and growing Christmas carolling.
Dr Hashim Ahmed, who led the exploratory, said the results were entirely encouraging.
It faithfully boils the cells until they are destroyed.
This boning up suggests it’s imaginable that HIFU may a individual to date attention a job in treating men with advanced prostate cancer with fewer side effects.
HIFU can end cancerous concatenation down to a millimetre Loosely nicety.
Since this cardinal gang underwent the treatment another 800 men about the UK consume also entered trials, although results are not at one’s fingertips till.
The mode is already acquainted with in other parts of Europe and Japan.
It has also started to be tested on other forms of cancer, such as liver and kidney.
But experts noiseless neediness to look after long-term results in pick to they give it their aid looking for NHS resort to.
And John Neate, chief title-holder of the Prostate Cancer Charity, added long-term materials was required.
Professor Peter Johnson, of Cancer Research UK, said HIFU needed careful evaluation.
But he said: HIFU potentially offers a ‘third way’ ways to the treatment of localised prostate cancer.</p
