Surgical Ablative Therapies in Patients With Radiorecurrent Prostate Cancer

Abstract

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.
