摘要Due to its lower risk of consequences when compared to a radical approach,focal treatment is a viable and minimally invasive option for treating specific localized prostate cancer.Although several recent good non-randomized trials have suggested that focused therapy may be an alternative choice for some patients,additional high-quality evidence is needed before it can be made widely available as a conventional treatment.As a result,we have summarized the most recent findings from the 38th Annual European Association of Urology Congress,one of the most renowned annual conferences in the area of urology,regarding focal ablation therapy for patients with localized prostate cancer.Additionally,we also provided clinical trials in progress for researchers to better understand the current research status of this field.
