Abstract
Standard treatment approaches for localized prostate
cancer remain limited to active surveillance, radiotherapy,
and radical prostatectomy. We present a case of transition zone prostate cancer that was treated with holmium
laser enucleation of the prostate, a procedure that is
normally reserved for the management of benign prostatic
hyperplasia.
