There is now a significant opportunity to improve the safety and quality of life outcomes for men requiring treatment for prostate cancer. Today, we're discussing the Water IV Prostate Cancer trial, an innovative and meaningful clinical trial that is actively enrolling patients to assess how the safety and efficacy of Aquablation therapy compares with radical prostatectomy in men with localized prostate cancer.
