Prostate steam therapy guided by MRI/ultrasound fusion
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new steam treatment for enlarged prostate that uses MRI and ultrasound images together to guide the procedure. It aims to relieve urinary symptoms when medications haven't worked or you prefer not to take them.
