- Prostatic Artery Embolization for the Treatment of Patients with Localized Prostate Carcinoma and Obstructive Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
This phase II trial tests whether prostatic artery embolization (PAE) works to improve urinary symptoms when performed prior to radiation therapy in patients with prostate cancer that is restricted to the site of origin, without evidence of spread (localized). Embolization is a procedure in which substances are injected into blood vessels adjacent to a tumor for the purpose of interrupting the blood flow to the cancer cells. Interrupting the blood flow to tumors may reduce the size or slow the growth.
