gland treatments. Objective To summarize the evidence regarding sources of energy …

Context The incidence of localised prostate cancer is increasing worldwide. In light of recent
evidence, current, radical, whole-gland treatments for organ-confined disease have being …

Introduction Focal therapy (FT) is a promising alternative to whole-gland treatments for
Localized Prostate Cancer. Ten different FT modalities have been described in literature …

Background Radical whole-gland therapy can lead to significant genitourinary and rectal
side-effects for men with localised prostate cancer. We report on whether selective focal …

Background In selected patients with unilateral, organ-confined prostate cancer (PCa),
hemiablation of the affected lobe might be feasible to achieve acceptable cancer control with …

BACKGROUND For people with localised prostate cancer, active treatments are effective but
have significant side effects. Minimally invasive treatments that destroy (or ablate) either the …

Globally, the increased uptake of serum PSA level screening led to an increase in the
number of diagnoses of low-risk and intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Traditionally, these …

Purpose: We evaluated focal therapy with high intensity focused ultrasound hemiablation in
a prospective trial. Materials and Methods: We performed a prospective, multicenter, single …

CONTEXT: The Gleason grading system is one of the most powerful predictors of outcome in
prostate cancer and a cornerstone in counseling and treating patients. Since its inception, it …

BACKGROUND: Focal therapy (FT) for prostate cancer (PCa) seems to be part of a natural
evolution in the quest to improve the management of early organ-confined disease …
