Focal Laser Ablation of Prostate Cancer: Numerical Simulation of Temperature and Damage Distribution

Focal Laser Ablation of Prostate Cancer: Numerical Simulation of Temperature and Damage Distribution

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The use of minimally invasive ablative techniques in the management of patients with low grade and localized prostate tumours could represent a treatment option between active surveillance and radical therapy. Focal laser ablation (F...
