Feasibility and safety of focal irreversible electroporation as salvage treatment for localized radio ‐recurrent prostate cancer

ConclusionOur short‐term safety, QoL and oncological control data demonstrate that focal IRE is a feasible salvage option for localized radio‐recurrent PCa. A prospective multi‐centre study (FIRE‐trial) has been initiated that will provide further insight in the ability of focal IRE to obtain oncological control of radio‐recurrent PCa with acceptable patient morbidity.This article is protected by copyright.
