Abstract:
Precise localization of prostate cancer is essential for the success of focal therapies. Despite suggestions that saturation biopsy might be useful in this regard, a new study implies it cannot accurately pinpoint prostate tumors. research efforts would perhaps be better focused on identifying which patients require treatment for clinically localized prostate cancer in the first place.
