A 10-Second Steam Blast: The New Weapon Against Prostate Cancer?

Image
Vanquish® Water Vapor Ablation System, Francis Medical Steams Out Prostate Cancer The Vanquish® Water Vapor Ablation System, developed by Francis Medical, Inc. , represents an innovative approach to treating prostate cancer using water vapor (steam) to ablate cancerous tissue. This minimally invasive technique aims to target and destroy prostate cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, potentially reducing common side effects associated with traditional treatments like surgery and radiation, Mechanism of Action:  The Vanquish system utilizes the thermal energy stored in sterile water vapor to ablate cancerous prostate tissue. During the procedure, a catheter is inserted through the urethra into the prostate, delivering water vapor directly to the targeted tissue. As the vapor condenses back into liquid, it releases stored thermal energy, effectively destroying the cancerous cells. This method is designed to respect the prostate's natural boundaries, ...
