NanoTherm - I heard this second hand - anyone else hear anything ?

A friend of a friend:
His urologist here in San Antonio had just become a part of a study that uses iron nano-particles that are put into the cancer lesion, then heated up in a MRI type machine to kill the cancer. If this procedure gets approved by the
FDA, men will not need a prostatectomy. John is the first man in the world to complete the process successfully. He did need his prostate removed so they could do a very detailed pathology report to record how effective the procedure was. They are looking for more men to be involved in the study.In order to be considered for the study, all male patients must be between the age of 40 to 85, have biopsy proven intermediate risk prostate cancer, planning on having a prostatectomy, and be medically fit to have implantation of the NanoThermâ„¢ particles under light anesthesia. Patient must also have a lesion that can be visualized by multiparametric MRI (mp-MRI). The sponsor, Magforce-USA will cover ALL out of pocket cost, including prostatectomy and mp-MRI if one isn't already available. Magforce-USA will also monetarily compensate patient for every visit.
The first person to talk to is Lee Anne. Her number is (833)287-1150. She is a delight!
MagForce will pay for the mp-MRI and ALL other expenses incurred during the trial - airfare, hotel stays, food, all testing and the final prostatectomy. They have been the best folks to work with. They have 3 sites for treatment so far - Florida, SA and Seattle.

Why will they cover the cost of a prostatectomy when you said they will not do one?

Unless I'm misunderstanding, sounds like they implant the iron particles, blast you, then remove you prostate anyway. Doesn't seem like a winning strategy to me
