Does A Microwave Thermotherapy Result In Cancer?
Recently I had the microwave therapy done, using the Prostalund machine. For the past 4 years my PSA has been between 1.5-2.5. I m 54. My Father pasted away at 61 from prostate cancer. My question is, does the microwave therapy for BPH increase the chances of getting cancer?
