Targeted microwave ablation of localised prostate cancer ( VIOLETTE trial ): a prospective multicentre study

Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of targeted microwave ablation for localized prostate cancer.
Conducted as a prospective multicentre trial
Utilized OBT Fusion technology for microwave ablation
Focused on patients with localized intermediate-risk prostate cancer
Monitored patients for 12 months post-treatment
Achieved primary endpoint of the trial
81% of patients remained free of in-field clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) after 12 months

Abstract

Targeted microwave ablation using OBT Fusion technology appears to be a safe and effective focal therapy procedure for localised intermediate-risk PCa. The VIOLETTE trial achieved its primary endpoint, with 81% patients free of in-field csPCa at 12 months.
