Interstitial microwave thermal therapy is experimental treatment for prostate cancer with the goal of curing disease, while causing fewer complications than standard treatment options. We present a method for delivering interstitial microwave thermal therapy using microwave radiating helical antennae inserted percutaneously under transrectal ultrasound guidance. We report the results of a trial of this method in 25 patients in whom primary external beam radiation therapy had previously failed. This patient group currently has limited curative options that are associated with a high complication rate. However, these recurrent tumors often remain localized to the prostate, and so they may be amenable to localized therapy.
