Abstract

A new method is described for the treatment of diseases of the prostate with local hyperthermia applied transrectally by microwaves. A series of 500 treatment sessions given to 74 patients with 14 controls, is reported. Thirty patients had advanced cancer of the prostate, 37 had benign hyperplasia and were unsuitable for surgery, and 21 had chronic prostatitis. Marked objective and subjective improvement was noted in the majority in twenty-four months of follow-up.
