Focal therapy offers an alternative for favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa). A novel 3D image-guided robot-assisted partial prostatectomy (RAPP) technique may overcome positive surgical margin challenges in PCa treatment.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Oncology
- Surgical Technology
Background:
- Active surveillance for favorable intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer (PCa) presents oncological outcome controversies.
- Radical prostatectomy raises concerns regarding overtreatment and functional outcomes.
- Focal therapy is a potential alternative for this patient group.
