Prostate cancer: focal treatment is safe and effective in some patients

To remember

  • Focal treatment with MRI-guided focused ultrasound is safe and effective in some patients with grade 2 or 3 prostate cancer.

Why is this important?

  • A comparative phase III trial is needed to determine whether a tissue-sparing approach can delay or eliminate the need for long-term radical whole-gland therapy in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer .
