Focal therapy in prostate cancer: the current situation.

Safety of active surveillance program for recurrent nonmuscle-invasive bladder carcinoma.

Objectives: To report our experience with a select group of patients with low-risk tumors included in an observation and monitoring program after the diagnosis of recurrence.

Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study in patients diagnosed with recurrent, nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer maintained under an active surveillance protocol. The inclusion criteria were papillary tumors with negative cytology findings, previous nonmuscle-invasive tumor (Stage pTa, pT1a), grade 1-2, size <1 cm, and number of tumors <5.
