Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focal therapy is a promising option for selected patients who have localized low or intermediate-risk prostate cancer, providing a compelling alternative between active surveillance and radical therapies by targeting the index lesion and preserving as much tissue as possible. Numerous cohort studies have already investigated multiple focal techniques, such as cryotherapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound, brachytherapy, photodynamic therapy, laser therapy, irreversible electroporation and cyberknife methods, all of which have demonstrated positive oncological outcomes with 70 to 90 % negative follow-up biopsy. These various ablative techniques have produced only minor side-effects concerning urinary function, a low rate of erectile dysfunction, and have demonstrated a limited rectal toxicity. As a result, the primary end-point has now shifted and a new strategy needs to be established for patient follow-up and for defining treatment failure. Written by international experts in the field, this book is mainly focused on new techniques, all of which are amply illustrated. Technical Aspects of Focal Therapy in Localized Prostate Cancer will be of great practical value to all urologists and oncologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of this field, and will serve as a valuable resource for clinicians, surgeons and researchers with an interest in early prostate cancer. The book reviews new data about genetic markers, transperineal mapping biopsy and mpMRI, how to apply each of these technologies in patients with elevated PSA, when a prior prostate biopsy performed by the standard TRUS method is negative and in cases where low risk disease is already diagnosed, how to differentiate those men who might harbor more aggressive disease from those who do not. Over 75% of newly diagnosed prostate cancer meets the criteria for low risk disease which has created a dilemma for both patients and clinicians. Active surveillance programs have been initiated and are reviewed. How the new technologies impact surveillance programs is addressed. Clinical stage designation is updated and a new intra-prostatic staging system is discussed. Prostate biopsy techniques utilizing transrectal ultrasound, transperineal mapping, elastography and mpMRI are compared. Finally, utilization of this new technology in the application of focal therapy is reviewed. The Prostate Cancer Dilemma will serve as a very useful resource for physicians and researchers dealing with, and interested in this challenging malignancy. Chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the most up to date scientific and clinical information as well as links to procedural video content.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostate cancer, a disease diagnosed in approximately 220,000 men in the U.S. annually, has historically been treated through extirpation of the entire gland. Unfortunately, whole-gland interventions exact a heavy toll, often resulting in incontinence and impotence. One proposed alternative is focal therapy, wherein MR-visible tumor foci are treated locally while sparing the majority of healthy tissue. This approach has great potential to deliver curative treatment while reducing costs and risks. In order to demonstrate the safety, efficacy, and practicality of focal therapy, several key questions remain: 1. How reliably can tumor location be distinguished? 2. What treatment margins are necessary? 3. Can treatment be delivered safely in a clinic setting? This thesis presents a concerted effort to answer these questions, guided by the central hypothesis that focal therapy can be made safe and effective by registering MRI with ultrasound, pathology, and thermal data. To this end, we characterized and clinically implemented a means of accurately correlating MRI with histopathology. We discovered that many tumors extend far beyond the confines of MR-visibility, and the average tumor was three times its predicted volume. Isotropic margins in excess of 1 cm would have been necessary to treat the majority of focal therapy eligible men. However, by registering tracked biopsy data with MRI, we demonstrated that patient-specific treatment margins can greatly improve cancer prediction. We performed clinical trials investigating the safety of focal laser ablation (FLA) of prostate cancer, a modality wherein an interstitial laser delivers thermal energy and induces coagulative necrosis. Through analysis of MRI thermometry data, we found that thermal damage could be predicted with less than 15% volumetric error (0.5 cc). In a second clinical trial, FLA was performed under the guidance of MRI-US fusion imaging. This trial demonstrated that focal therapy could be performed safely, in a clinic setting, and without risk of incontinence or impotence. Furthermore, clinically significant cancer was eliminated from 60% of men, demonstrating the potential efficacy of localized treatment. Future work is necessary to refine all aspects of prostate focal therapy. However, this thesis lays a foundation for safe and effective treatment of localized prostate cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostate cancer is the commonest cancer in men. Current treatments include surgery to remove the whole prostate or radiotherapy of the whole prostate. These radical treatments can treat the cancer effectively but often cause unwanted side effects. Meanwhile widespread screening with prostate-specific antigen has led to an increased diagnosis of localised prostate cancer; at the same time, widespread use of abdominal imaging has led to increased detection of renal masses. In response to demand for improved outcomes with reduced side effects, focal therapy has emerged as an important procedure in managing both prostate and renal cancers. It targets individual areas of cancer, reducing unwanted side effects and the amount of damage to collateral tissue. This new method of treatment has major advantages: it involves less radiation, the removal of less tissue and less time spent in hospital. Handbook of Focal Therapy for Prostate and Renal Cancer provides a comprehensive, timely review of targeted ablation methods to treat prostate and renal cancers. It describes the most effective techniques in current practice, with discussion of the selection criteria, ablation technologies and their limitations, and advice on the management of common side effects. The book opens with a summary of the principles of prostate and renal cancer treatment and the mechanisms of focal therapy. Separate sections on prostate and kidney follow, covering the role of focal therapy, side effects and their treatment and follow-up after targeted ablation. Written in a practical, clinically-oriented style, Handbook of Focal Therapy for Prostate and Renal Cancer is the ideal reference for urologists, radiologists and radiation oncologists wishing to employ the latest focal therapy techniques in the care of their patients.

Book excerpt: Prostate cancer is the most common neoplasm in men and its management is very complex, in terms of both diagnosis and treatment. In recent years the value of multidisciplinary management within a prostate cancer unit has been increasingly recognized. Such a multidisciplinary approach within a specialized unit involves a variety of specialists, including urologists, oncologists, radiotherapists, radiologists and pathologists. This book describes in detail the advantages of multidisciplinary management of prostate cancer. It opens by explaining the nature of the required multidisciplinary team and the potential benefits of the prostate cancer unit as a structure for the delivery of specialist multidisciplinary care. Epidemiological aspects favoring multidisciplinary management are described and each element of care within the context of the prostate cancer unit is then discussed; also has been described the role of advanced imaging (Multiparametric MRI) in the management of PCa. Early diagnosis, risk classification, treatment decision making, surgery, radiotherapy, medical therapies and health care support are all fully considered. This book will be informative and enlightening for all who are involved in the management of patients with prostate cancer.
