*A small, needle-like catheter at the tip of Francis Medical’s cancer ablation device delivers water vapor that cools and kills cancer cells
*Francis Medical has developed the Vanquish System, a minimally invasive transurethral prostate ablation device that uses water vapor to kill cancer cells.
*Heated water vapor circumvents some of the limitations of traditional thermal ablation. In 10-second treatments, high-pressure vapor exits the catheter and displaces the interstitial fluid surrounding tumor cells.
*The Vanquish System seeks to avoid the life-altering side effects of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction often associated with current prostate cancer therapies of surgery or radiation
