Prospective Comparative Analysis Of Oncologic And Functional Outcomes Between Focal Therapy And Robotic Radical Prostatectomy.
JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY(2017)
Abstract
90Background: Focal therapy (FT) is an emerging treatment alternative for organ-confined Prostate cancer (PCa). The aim is to perform a non-randomized prospective analysis to compare oncological, functional and morbidity outcomes after FT and robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP). Methods: From July 2009 to September 2015, 1883 patients underwent RARP and 373 FT. Of those, we selected 1410 men (1222 RARP and 236 FT) according to the NCCN PCa risk classification: 402(27.5%),388(26.6%) and 668(45.8%) patients were very low risk, low risk and intermediate risk, respectively. Within FT, 188 men underwent focal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and 48 cryotherapy. Oncologic outcomes were analyzed in terms of biochemical recurrence (BCR) free survival (Phoenix definition for FT, and PSA u003e0.2 ng/dl in RARP), and the need for further treatment. FT failure was defined as any positive control biopsy after treatment. Overall suvival and metastasis free survival were estimated using Cox regression and Kaplan-Me...
