Image-guided focal therapy for prostate cancer.
The adoption of routine prostate specific antigen screening has led to the discovery of many small and low-grade prostate cancers which have a low probability of causing mortality. These cancers, however, are often treated with radical therapies resulting in long-term side effects. There has been increasing interest in minimally invasive focal therapies to treat these tumors. While imaging moda...
متن کاملFocal Therapy for Prostate Cancer
The prostate cancer pathway from screening and diagnosis through to treatment has recently been critically questioned in light of level 1 evidence pointing toward pathway-related harms that may outweigh the benefits in many men. As a consequence, guidelines on screening in prostate cancer have recommended limiting the systematic use of screening based on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing ...
متن کاملFocal therapy using magnetic resonance image-guided focused ultrasound in patients with localized prostate cancer
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to evaluate and report the feasibility, safety, and initial outcomes of patients with limited localized prostate cancer treated using a trans-rectal magnetic resonance image-guided focused ultrasound (MRGFUS) device. Attempts to focally treat only the index lesion for prostate cancer have been explored to reduce side effects while maintaining oncologic co...

متن کاملSingle fraction multimodal image guided focal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for recurrent prostate cancer
PURPOSE We present a novel method for treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) following radiation therapy: focal, multimodal image guided high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We treated two patients with recurrent PCa after primary (#1) or adjuvant (#2) external beam radiation therapy. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), choline, positron emiss...
