Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer: An "À la Carte" Approach

Arjun Sivaraman et al. Eur Urol. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Personalizing focal ablation energy for prostate cancer on the basis of cancer location is a novel concept. We propose the use of high-intensity focused ultrasound, cryotherapy, and brachytherapy for posterior, anterior, and apical tumors, respectively, to improve the overall outcome. This concept needs to be verified in prospective studies.
