2023年9月29日 · Focal laser ablation is a new treatment for prostate cancer that involves destroying cancer cells with heat generated from a concentrated beam of light. Focal therapies are treatments that...

Lasers can be used instead of blades (scalpels) for very careful surgical work, such as repairing a damaged retina in the eye or cutting body tissue. They can also be used to heat and destroy small areas (such as some tumors), or to activate light-sensitive drugs.

2023年7月22日 · Lasers use concentrated light to generate precise and intense heat. There are several different types of prostate laser surgery, including: Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). A laser is used to melt away (vaporize) excess prostate tissue and enlarge the urinary channel.

We use Laser Focal Therapy (focal laser ablation) for the treatment of low-to-intermediate prostate cancer. This prostate laser surgery can also be used to help improve the symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

2018年12月21日 · Focal therapy relies on the use of energy sources to generate extreme temperatures that lead to tumor destruction. Available options include cryoablation, focal laser ablation and high-frequency ultrasound ablation. MRI-guided focal cryoablation and focal laser ablation are offered clinically.

2016年12月21日 · A clinical trial of a type of laser treatment for prostate cancer hit the headlines. What do the results mean for patients? We spoke to an expert to find out.

Laser Focal Therapy for prostate cancer is a medical procedure that uses the energy of laser light to selectively target and treat localized areas of cancer within the prostate gland. This approach is less invasive than traditional surgery and is aimed at preserving much of the healthy prostate tissue and surrounding tissues, which can reduce ...

120 patients with low to intermediate risk prostate cancer had transrectal FLA done. MRI thermometry controlled the ablation. Procedures were performed between 2013 and 2017. At 6 and 12 months, patients had clinical and MRI follow-up with biopsies of suspicious areas.

2023年8月25日 · Holmium laser prostate surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate. Also called holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), the procedure uses a laser to remove tissue that is blocking urine flow through the prostate.

GreenLight Laser Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in older men characterized by an enlarged prostate. This advanced technique uses a high-powered laser to vaporize excess prostate tissue, thereby relieving urinary symptoms and improving the flow of urine.
