Focal Therapy in Prostate Cancer Treatment
Can focal therapy truly “thread the needle” between active surveillance and radical prostate cancer treatment? In this episode of BackTable Urology, host Dr. Tiwa Akinsola is joined by Dr. George Schade from the University of Washington to explore focal therapy as a middle ground between active surveillance and radical treatments. Dr. Schade reviews non-radiation energy modalities including HIFU, TULSA/HI-DU, cryotherapy, and irreversible electroporation, highlighting patient selection, institutional experience, technical nuances, and quality-of-life outcomes from recent trials.
