Figures & data
Table I. Patient characteristics.
Figure 1. Example of an unenhanced computed tomography scan obtained one year after a single injection of magnetic fluid into the prostate, followed by six thermotherapy sessions (left). Hyperdense nanoparticle deposits in the prostate are still clearly visible. Histology image obtained by prostate biopsy of the same patient 1 year after treatment (right). Iron-oxide nanoparticles (brown) are still present in the prostate tissue (hematoxylin-eosin staining, ×200).

Table II. Evaluation of changes in quality of life (QoL) over time. Measurements were carried out before thermotherapy (baseline), at mid-treatment (week 3), at the end of thermotherapy (week 6) and after 3 and 6 months.
