Description
Yasuaki Matsuura and his five co-authors report, in a 2026 paper, on a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer treated with radiation plus heat. The ductal variant of the disease fails treatment more often and kills sooner than the common form. The team treated three patients. Two with advanced but contained tumors got focused radiation with regional heating of the area. One whose cancer signal returned after surgery got a salvage course of the same pairing.
All three patients achieved lasting control, followed for six, nine, and eight years. The salvage patient's warning marker rose again at one point but settled with a short course of hormone therapy, with no further spread. Heating was delivered successfully in every case. With only three patients, the authors present the pairing as promising rather than proven, and a candidate for wider study in this hard-to-treat variant.
