Irreversible electroporation (IRE)?

Great to hear all is going well. I too wanted to do IRE and had a virtual with Dr Powsang of Moffitt. My condition and results were the same as yours. PSA 4.5, MRI guided biopsy found area of concern, 1 core of 12 found 3+4=7 in area of concern, PSMA PET and CT showed confined to one area of the Prostate. Seemed like I was a perfect condiate for focal IRE. Only difference was my area of concern is 2 cm which Dr Powsang said was too large to do focal due to desire to treat a halo around lesion. I was disappointed to hear focal wasn’t an option but glad I met with him and he gave me the truth. Looking at other options now like MRI Guided SBRT if I can find a location in Florida that does it. I don’t think Moffitt does.
