What Is Prostate Cancer?

The prostate is a small gland that sits below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It surrounds the upper part of the urethra, which is the tube urine and semen pass through. The gland's main job is to produce part of the fluid that makes up semen. Prostate cancer happens when cells inside the prostate begin to grow in an uncontrolled way. Many of these cancers grow slowly and stay confined to the gland for years. Others grow more quickly or spread beyond the prostate to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or bone. The treatment plan a urologist recommends depends heavily on which kind of behavior the cancer is showing, which is why diagnosis and grading matter so much. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in men, and most of the men who develop it are over the age of fifty. Earlier-onset disease can occur, particularly in men with a family history or specific risk factors, which is part of why screening conversations often start in a man's forties.

Signs and Symptoms to Pay Attention To

Early prostate cancer often causes no symptoms, which is part of why screening matters. When symptoms do appear, they often overlap with non-cancerous conditions and should be evaluated rather than self-diagnosed.

Who is a Candidate for PEF Ablation?

PEF ablation is ideal for men with localized prostate cancer who want to preserve quality of life.

Men with low to intermediate-risk prostate cancer
Localized tumors (T1c-T2b)
PSA levels typically under 15 ng/mL
Gleason score 6-7 (3+4)
Desire to preserve urinary and sexual function
Preference for outpatient treatment

Discover If You Are A Candidate

Comprehensive evaluation and imaging

We review your PSA test, biopsy, and perform an MRI to map the tumor and confirm candidacy for focal PEF ablation.

Treatment planning and simulation

Using MRI-ultrasound fusion, we plan electrode paths, set safety margins, and simulate energy delivery to protect nerves and urinary structures.

PEF ablation procedure

Under anesthesia, precisely placed electrodes deliver ultra-short electrical pulses to the MRI-targeted lesion while surrounding tissue is preserved; most patients go home the same day.
