Focal salvage high ‐intensity focused ultrasound in radiorecurrent prostate cancer

ConclusionFocal salvage HIFU conferred a relatively low complication and side effect rate. CEFS and biochemical control in the short to medium term were reasonable, especially in this relatively high‐risk cohort, but still low compared with current whole‐gland salvage therapies. Focal salvage therapy may offer disease control in men at high risk whilst minimizing additional treatment morbidities.
