Hi: I have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer T1C Gleason 8. Of course the options that have been offered are Surgery or radiation with Surgery suggested as the first line of treatment. I understand through my research that a German Group have had tremendous success with a Hyperthermia Therapy that has shown a 90% success rate without any side effects. My question is are there any trials using this treatment being conducted in the US? I did come across some information that MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston were testing something along these lines but have been unable to confirm if they are still doing trials or not. Also are there any trials for treating prostate cancer using stem cell treatment?
No yet stem cell transplant is not used to treat prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is an old age disease where transplantation is not feasible in most of the cases. So no such trials know yet
