abstract |
2089739 9204934 PCTABS00011 An apparatus for treatment of diseases of the prostate, such as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and prostatic cancer, includes a urinary catheter (1) for insertion in the prostatic urethra; a dilation balloon (18) for simultaneously dilating the prostatic urethra to relieve any constriction of the prostatic urethra generally symptomatic of most diseases of the prostate and for compressing prostatic tissue to restrict blood flow to said tissue, thereby reducing the heat sink effect of blood-supplied tissue absorbing heat energy applied thereto; consequently enabling both greater uniformity of heating in selected target diseased prostatic tissue and a reduction in the amount of power required to supply an effective level of energy to the selected target diseased prostatic tissue; and a microwave antenna (22) for applying microwave energy to the selected target diseased prostatic tissue to produce hyperthermal effects therein, thereby causing therapeutic alteration of the selected target diseased prostatic tissue cells. A method for the treatment of diseases of the prostate utilizing the apparatus is also disclosed. |
