The laser treatment is not yet approved for use in prostate cancer by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “I think we were so successful in this effort because of the experience we gained doing the targeted biopsies,” Marks said. “That allowed us to go from biopsy to treatment.”...
Prostate Laser Center in Houston offers advanced prostate laser treatment. Specializing in focal laser ablation, 3T MRI, and TULSA for prostate cancer and BPH.
Current challenges and innovations in prostate cancer management concern the development of focal therapies that allow the treatment of the cancer areas only, sparing the rest of the gland to minimize the potential morbidity. Among these techniques, laser-based techniques (laser-induced thermotherapy [...
Additionally, the BlueLaser™ Focal Laser Ablation prostate cancer treatment, offers an important “safety net,” should additional tumors be discovered or new ones develop down the road. Not only can laser ablation be repeated, but it also preserves the ability to re-treat with other modalities...
Laser treatment associated with transurethral resection of the prostate is a new and promising treatment of the stages T0 diffuse, T1 and T2 prostatic cancer. Our standardized treatment procedure gives few complications. So far we have not recorded any local recurrence in the 26 patients we have ...
Researchers from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, led by prostate cancer treatment pioneer Dr. Eric Walser, have shown that selectively destroying cancerous prostate tissue is as effective as complete prostate removal or radiation therapy while preserving more sexual and urinary funct...

With the same kind of MRI-guidedFocal Laser Ablation (FLA)used to treat prostate cancer tumors, Dr. Dan Sperling has developed a patient-friendly outpatient treatment that relieves BPH in a single treatment with...
Laser-induced hyperthermia in rat prostate cancer: Role of site of tumor implantationdoi:10.1016/S0090-4295(00)00553-7Objectives. To investigate the importance of the site of tumor implantation on the treatment response to laser-induced hyperthermia (LIH) of rat prostate cancer (PCa), because ...
Dynamic CT treatment 10 days later showed the treated area as a non-enhancing, avascular zone. Biopsies from this region confirmed the presence of necrosis. There were no complications. ILP appears to be a safe and effective way of ablating areas of focal abnormality in the prostate. 展开 ...
To investigate the importance of the site of tumor implantation on the treatment response to laser-induced hyperthermia (LIH) of rat prostate cancer (PCa), because interventional manipulations of PCa have been reported to increase metastatic dissemination. Methods. Seven to nine days after either ...
