    Description

    Prostate cancer is often diagnosed before symptoms develop, but it may present with problems in passing urine or difficulties with sexual function. In this procedure, needles are inserted into the prostate and short electrical pulses of high-voltage current are passed through to create tiny holes in the cancer cells. The aim is to kill the cancer cells without damaging the structure of the prostate.
