Abstract

For a long time, the treatment options for localized prostate cancer (PCa) were active treatment, radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiotherapy (RT), which have excellent oncologic outcomes, however, associated to considerable complications rates, especially erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence (UI), worsening quality of life (QoL). This chapter examines salvage therapy after focal therapy.
