We report the technical aspects and outcome results of a
minimally-invasive focal treatment using laser ablation
under MRI guidance and monitoring to treat localized
low-intermediate risk prostate cancer while preserving
the rest of the gland. 14 treatment-nave foci of
localized prostate cancer were treated with MRI-guided
and monitored focal laser ablation. The technique is
feasible and well tolerated as an outpatient procedure.
This small series indicates a promising efficacy for up
to 24-month recurrence-free follow-up durations.
Prospective assessment of safety and efficacy awaits
further evaluation on a larger cohort of subjects.
