Summary
This early study tested a new, less invasive approach for prostate cancer. One man received a targeted heat treatment (microwave ablation) guided by MRI and ultrasound before his scheduled prostate removal surgery. The goal was to see if the heat could safely kill cancer cells and potentially offer a gentler alternative to full surgery in the future.
