- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of various minimally invasive focal treatments (FT) for prostate cancer (PCa), as traditional treatments still dominate despite improved imaging techniques.
- A literature review analyzed 22 recent articles to assess different types of FT, which include thermal methods like high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as well as non-thermal methods such as irreversible electroporation (IRE).
