Microwave hyperthermia using the PRIMUS system effectively treated benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in most patients, offering a useful therapeutic option, particularly for severe cases.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Physics
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men.
  • Existing treatments for BPH have limitations and potential side effects.
  • Microwave hyperthermia presents a non-invasive therapeutic approach.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the PRIMUS microwave hyperthermia system for BPH treatment.
  • To assess subjective and objective outcomes in patients undergoing transrectal prostatic hyperthermia.
  • To determine the effectiveness of hyperthermia in managing severe BPH complications.

Summary:

  • The PRIMUS system, a dedicated microwave hyperthermia device, was used in 36 patients with BPH.
  • Subjective effectiveness was reported in 86% of patients, with a 69% overall effective ratio.

  • While prostate size did not significantly change, side effects were generally mild (20%), with only one severe case.

    • Impact:

    • Transrectal prostatic hyperthermia demonstrates potential as a valuable treatment modality for BPH.
    • This method may be particularly beneficial for patients with severe BPH and associated complications.
    • Further research can explore optimizing hyperthermia parameters for improved outcomes and reduced side effects.
