Prostate artery embolization (PAE) has been shown to be beneficial in treating men with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Here we describe treating four patients with prostate cancer (two with organ-confined and two with metastatic prostate cancer) with prostatic bleeding with PAE. Patients had other causes of hematuria excluded and were followed up at 3, 12, and 18 months after PAE. All four cases were technically successful and all cases of hematuria had resolved by the three-month follow-up (100%). There was one case of recurrence at 13 months after PAE which was successfully treated. PAE is useful for controlling significant prostatic bleeding in patients with prostate cancer and improves quality of life. Patients may, however, need repeated treatments to control the bleeding.

Abstract Purpose To compare the relative IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) improvement in storage and voiding symptoms between prostatic artery embolization (PAE) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Method Retrospective analysis of the UK-ROPE (UK Register of Prostate Embolization) multicentre database was conducted with inclusion of all patients with full IPSS questionnaire score data. The voiding and storage subscore improvement was compared between interventions. Student’s t-test (paired and unpaired) and ANOVA (Analysis of variance) were used to identify significant differences between the groups. Results 146 patients (121 PAE, 25 TURP) were included in the analysis. Storage symptoms were more frequently the most severe symptom (‘storage’ in 75 patients vs ‘voiding’ in 17 patients). Between groups, no significant difference was seen in raw storage subscore improvement (TURP 4.9 vs PAE 4.2; p = 0.34) or voiding subscore improvement (TURP 8.4 vs PAE 6.7; p = 0.1). ANOVA demonstrated a greater proportionate reduction (relative to total IPSS) towards voiding symptoms in the TURP group (27.3% TURP vs 9.9% PAE, p = 0.001). Conclusion Although both TURP and PAE improve voiding symptoms more than storage, a significantly larger proportion of total symptom reduction is due to voiding in the TURP cohort, with PAE providing a more balanced improvement between voiding and storage.
