The recent evidences provided in metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC) and in nonmetastatic castration resistant (nmCRPC) introduced the possibility to adopt Androgen Receptor Signaling inhibitor (ARSi) alone (both settings) or with chemotherapy (in mHSPC). In daily clinical practice there are some opening questions regarding the inclusion of next generation imaging, mainly PSMA-PET, how integrate local treatment as radiotherapy, how to select patients or drugs in a multiple-choice scenario, and how to manage patients with comorbidities and polypharmacy. These issues led the Italian Society for Uro-Oncology (SIUrO) to develop a consensus project involving all of the most important Italian scientific societies engaged in the multidisciplinary and multiprofessional management of the disease.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-seven patients with low-risk prostate cancer (clinical stage T1c-T2a, prostate-specific antigen level ≤10 ng/mL, biopsy Gleason score ≤6), who were candidates for focal therapy, underwent TTPB. The study details are available from http://clinicaltrials.
Purpose: We report our experience with laparoscopic renal cryoablation (LRC) in select cases of small renal neoplasms. We evaluated the oncological results with the advantages of minimally invasive surgery.
Materials And Methods: Since September 2000, at our department 37 patients with a mean age of 64 years (range 29 to 89) have undergone LRC for computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) documented renal masses.
