Summary

This small pilot study tested a procedure called prostatic arterial embolization in 10 men with low-risk prostate cancer that was only on one side of the prostate. The idea was to cut off blood supply to the tumor, causing it to shrink or stop growing. The study looked at safety and whether cancer cells remained in the treated area after the procedure.
