Single‐session primary high‐intensity focused ultrasonography treatment for localized prostate cancer: biochemical outcomes using third generation‐based technology

Abstract

Primary HIFU appears to result in promising 4-year BCF-free rates in individuals with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer who achieve PSA nadir <0.5 ng/mL. A prostate volume <30 mL is associated with PSA nadir levels of <0.5 ng/mL suggesting a potential role for pretreatment volume reduction (medically or surgically) in larger prostates.
