Description
Mara Stevanovic and five co-authors report a 2025 study on a focal treatment for prostate cancer. The method, electrochemotherapy, pulses tumor tissue with electric fields after a drug dose, so the drug floods the cells. It sits between watchful waiting and full gland removal in terms of burden.
The clinic treated 144 men who could not take or had refused standard care. All procedures worked as planned, with mild, short-lived side effects. Urine and sexual function held up for most men. Scans at three months showed a full response in three quarters of those checked, a strong early sign for this approach.
