Publication number: 20240081886Abstract: A vapor delivery needle and method is provided that is adapted for treating prostate cancer. The energy delivery probe can apply condensable vapor energy to tissue, such as a peripheral zone tissue in a human prostate. In one method, a needle is introduced into peripheral zone tissue of a human prostate, and vapor media is delivered through the needle to ablate peripheral zone tissue without ablating non-peripheral zone tissue. Systems for treating prostate cancer with vapor therapy are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Michael HOEY, Grant MAUCH, Mark SCHROM
