Histopathological evaluation of prostate specimens after thermal ablation may be confounded by the presence of thermally-fixed cells

Purpose: Prostate cancer can be eradicated with heat exposure. However, high and rapid temperature elevations may cause thermofixation giving the appearance of viable tissue. The purpose was to characterize the immunoprofile and evaluate the viability of prostate regions with suspected thermofixatio...
