Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) with PCa

Watch this video. They talk about a reduction and in some cases the complete elimination of the cancerous tumor after PAE. Essentially stopping blood flow to it stops its growth and in some cases kills it. I wouldn’t rely on this but it can’t hurt in my situation.

Thank you so much. It gave us a bit of hope before his procedure. We talked with the IR on Monday when my husband had his PAE. He said he goes into the right and left branches on prostate, sometimes it does shrink it, sometimes it can kill it…but that they do not pinpoint the area of PC specifically. The procedure went really well. The Dr was satisfied that it would decrease his prostate size. Then we just continue with AS as Moffitt suggests. He’s looking forward to being off the finesteride and Rappaflo. Thanks again!
