SYNPOSIS
First, the doctors discuss focal therapy in prostate cancer treatment from various perspectives, including the challenges of treating certain lesions, the comparison of different focal therapy modalities like high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and brachytherapy, cryotherapy and the importance of patient-specific factors in treatment decisions. They emphasize the need for clinical trials and registries to validate focal therapy outcomes, the potential expansion of indications for focal therapy, and the critical role of advanced imaging and genomic classifiers in patient selection and treatment planning. The discussion also touches on the potential of focal therapy to evolve as a standard care option alongside advancements in understanding the biology of prostate cancer and improving imaging and treatment technologies.
