Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a novel minimally invasive angiographic technique that has been used effectively to treat men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, applications of PAE for men with prostate cancer have been minimally studied. This review serves as an update on the status of PAE in men with prostate cancer, as well as a discussion of emerging indications.
Prosate artery embolization (PAE) is done by interventional radiologists to help men who have urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate. This article discusses how PAE is used to help men who have prostate cancer as they consider different treatments and side effects of these treatments.
