Surveillance after Focal Therapy - a Comprehensive Review.
Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis
October 2024
Background: to date, no standardized, evidence-based follow-up schemes exist for the monitoring of patients who underwent focal therapy (FT) and expert centers rely mainly on their own experience and/or institutional protocols. We aimed to perform a comprehensive review of the most advantageous follow-up strategies and their rationale after FT for prostate cancer (PCa).
Methods: a narrative review of the literature was conducted to investigate different follow-up protocols of FT for PCa.
Purpose: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a promising alternative treatment for low-intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer. In this systematic review we aim to evaluate the safety profile and functional and oncological outcomes of this new technique.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed on PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus up to 24 August 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a new treatment for localized prostate cancer that aims to control the cancer while minimizing side effects, with results from a multi-center registry study outlined in the text.
- The study included 411 patients, with follow-up showing 24.1% had clinically significant cancer post-treatment and varied changes in urinary and sexual function scores at different time points after IRE.
- Overall, IRE was associated with good functional outcomes and a low rate of treatment-related adverse events, aligning with previous research findings on its effectiveness.
Aim: To analyse current practice patterns and to evaluate (long-term) effectiveness and adverse events of sacral neuromodulation with InterStim™ Therapy based on data collected in a national register and to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the register.
Patients And Methods: This is a French multicenter prospective observational trial including patients with a permanent implant (2003-2009). Voiding diary variables and patient satisfaction were analysed based on last follow-up visit since implantation.
