Focal therapy using magnetic resonance image-guided focused ultrasound in patients with localized prostate cancer

Conclusions MRGFUS is a feasible alternative for focal therapy in a select subset of patients with prostate cancer. The treatment is well tolerated with no evidence of decline in functional outcomes. Initial post-therapy biopsy results are promising. Long-term treatment efficacy requires further study.
