Deskripsi

Management of recurrent prostate cancer following radiotherapy and subsequent radical prostatectomy poses considerable challenges due to potential complications for patients. Focal therapies have emerged as a burgeoning approach in prostate cancer treatment. Research indicates that ablative therapies exhibit encouraging oncological efficacy while maintaining acceptable functional outcomes in salvage interventions. Here, we present a contemporary review of focal therapy treatment modalities as well as oncologic and functional outcomes.
