Zapping prostate cancer with targeted heat to spare men from surgery side effects
NCT ID NCT06128525
Summary
This small, early-stage study tested the safety of a less invasive procedure called targeted microwave ablation (TMA) for prostate cancer. Researchers used imaging to guide a probe that heats and destroys the tumor with microwaves. The goal was to see if this approach could effectively kill cancer cells while potentially causing fewer side effects like urinary and sexual problems compared to full prostate removal surgery.
