Treatment through the colon is possible because prostate cancer often begins in areas that can easily be heated through the colon's membrane. One important benefit of this invention is that it is a less painful and less intrusive method of treatment versus conventional techniques. Microwave ablation is much lower in cost when compared with other invasive methods, such as cryoablation or surgical excision. Also, a trained electrophysiologist can learn how to apply microwave ablation. Treatment may be performed in an outpatient environment reducing costs and commitment associated with hospital stays.
Doctors can perform more treatments and see more patients.
