  Author(s): Ken Koshiba*, Hideyuki Mizoguchi, Ryuta Suzuki, Yutaka Jujo, Masahiro Aihara, Hirotaka Nakajo and Satoru Shimura
  
  Background: Transurethral Microwave Thermotherapy (TUMT) has shown limited efficacy as a treatment for prostate cancer, mainly because of the inability of microwaves to reach the peripheral region of the prostate. Pretreatment with Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) may increase TUMT efficacy by reducing the prostate size. Objective: To examine the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing TUMT after at least 3 months of ADT. Design, setting, and participants: One hundred twenty-three men with early, non-metastatic prostate cancer and Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels of 4.0 ng/mL or higher were enrolled between 2001 and 2011 and followed up until 2017. TUMT was performed after at least 3 months of ADT and the efficacy of this treatment was confirmed by radical Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) performed at least 3 months after..
