Volume 19, Number 4Case ReviewIrreversible Electroporation for Prostate Cancer as Salvage Treatment Following Prior Radiation and CryotherapyKatie S MurrayOguz AkinJonathan A ColemanSalvage treatment options after localized primary treatment failure of prostate cancer are limited and associated with risk for serious complications. We report on the management details of a 57-year-old African American man treated with partial-gland ablation using irreversible electroporation following local recurrence after brachytherapy and prior salvage cryoablation. Therapeutic and functional outcomes were assessed by conventional means, including serum prostate-specific antigen values and prostate biopsy results.

Volume 20, Number 4Review ArticlesFocal Ablation of Prostate CancerTreatment UpdateHerbert LeporJames WysockSamuel GoldThe challenge to the urology community is to reduce the risks of screening and treatment by reducing the number of men undergoing unnecessary biopsy and whole-gland curative treatment of low-risk disease. There is compelling evidence that focal ablation of prostate cancer is truly minimally invasive and offers major functional advantages over whole-gland treatment.
