I had to google this. Interesting! I hope it works out well for you. I assume it's still in clinical trials.

For others wondering, my understanding is that based on a high-quality mpMRI and subsequent guided biopsy, one (or perhaps more?) node is identified as of concern and needles are inserted, guided by ultrasound based on the mpMRI map, so that the node can be ablated (neutralized, killed) using a pulsed electrical current travelling between the needles.

So it's a form of ablation (localized killing) using high voltage electrical pulses that kill the cells without burning them.

I turned 59 in 2020 but diagnosed with cancer in November 2019. I am also considered young to get this disease. My PSA started going up in 2015. It was around 5 at that time but in 2019 October it went up to 9 so my PCP referred me to a Urologist. After the biopsy, scans, etc., it is determine as stage 4. I started hormone therapy ( Lupron shots in January), Chemo in February( just got me 3rd infusion yesterday abc have 3 more to go), and I’ll be be getting radiation therapy after the Chemos.
