[Focal HIFU vs robot-assisted total prostatectomy: Functionnal and oncologic outcomes at one year].

CONCLUSION: In case of low or intermediate risk localised PCa, "HIFU-F" group had better functional outcomes than initial learning curse "RATP" group, at one year. A long-term evaluation by a common endpoint is necessary to judge the oncological equivalence of both techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3. PMID: 30243461 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
