They decide based on how aggressive your cancer is and how much it has spread. It seems that people with lower Gleason scores, and where the cancer is isolated to the prostate and not all over the prostate are more likely to be candidates for Tulsa pro.

It sounds like you would be a good candidate.

It is approved by the FDA. The NCCN requires longer-term data to include a treatment.

I agree. We had consult. for TULSA at Stanford and even though my husband was unfavorable 7 , he would have been a good candidate IF his lesion was closer to urethra. It was on periphery and in that case heat does not work well.
So yes, there are certain requirements for TULSA to work properly.
