Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of focal laser ablation (FLA) in low-intermediate risk prostate cancer.
Methods: Inclusion criteria were men aged 50-75 years, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤15 ng/mL, clinical stage T1c-T2a, one or two lesions (PI-RADS ≥3) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Gleason score 6 (>3 mm) or Gleason 7 on targeted biopsy. Treatment success was defined as no clinically significant cancer in ablated areas.
