Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) with Prostate cancer

My husband is having his PAE tomorrow by our RI. We previously have seen a urologist at Moffitt. They were perfectly happy with him having this procedure for his enlarged prostate. They told us they have seen good results with it. His prostate is very large. I was against the TURP that his urologist suggested. Then I questioned urologist about the PAE he told him he was a good candidate for the procedure. His Gleeson was 6 so for now it is just Active Surveillance but they said it would not interfere if he needed treatment in the future..and Moffitt had his biopsy slides so I’m happy with our decision. The best thing we did was go to Moffitt and get a second opinion on his slides. I wish you well on your journey.

Yes, I had all my testing and diagnosis with Advent, but have also been to Moffitt and they did a 2nd opinion of my biopsy slides and had the exact same results as Advent so I’m happy with that. Also have visited with Mayo in Jax. I have a meeting next week with Dr. Nainesh Parikh at Moffitt who is a leader in PAE. His videos talk about advantages of PAE. My prostate isn’t that large, 41 ml, but I would say my urinary issues before any treatment is about a 3-4 on a scale of 1-10. This is one of the reasons I want to get PAE. My hope is also that it reduces my tumor size slightly which Dr. Nainesh Parikh said he’s observed. Not enough to kill the cells but it has shown it may shrink the lesion.
