“…In a systematic review , the rates of disease recurrence in patients with PCa treated with cryotherapy and those treated with high‐intensity focused ultrasonography were 13.2–26% and 7.3–67.9%, respectively. At 12 months, >95% and >85% of patients demonstrated continence and sexual potency, respectively, regardless of the type of focal therapy used.…”

ObjectiveTo formulate consensus statements to facilitate physician management strategies for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) in Hong Kong by jointly convening a panel of 12 experts from the two local professional organizations representing PCa specialists, who had previously established consensus statements on the management of metastatic PCa for the locality.MethodsThrough a series of meetings, the panellists discussed their clinical experience and the published evidence regarding various areas of the management of localized PCa, then drafted consensus statements. At the final meeting, each drafted statement was voted on by every panellist based on its practicability of recommendation in the locality.ResultsA total of 76 consensus statements were ultimately accepted and established by panel voting.ConclusionDerived from the recent evidence and major overseas guidelines, along with local clinical experience and practicability, the consensus statements were aimed to serve as a practical reference for physicians in Hong Kong for the management of localized PCa.

“…Multiple direct comparisons have also been performed between HIFU and other focal therapy modalities for the primary treatment of prostate cancer. Donis Canet et al found that in reviewing 14 studies from the literature with a total of 350 patients treated with cryotherapy and 1107 treated with HIFU, both provided comparable functional results, although the oncologic results were poorer with cryotherapy. In their review of the literature, Ganzer et al concluded that posterior prostate lesions were most amenable to focal therapy using HIFU; cryotherapy was better for anterior tumors; and apical lesions were best treated with focal brachytherapy.…”

This article reviews the most current methods and technological aspects of highintensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which is termed histotripsy. The rationale for focal therapy for prostate carcinoma rather than prostatectomy, which is being used extensively throughout Europe and Asia, is presented, and an argument for why HIFU is the modality of choice for primary therapy and recurrent disease is offered. The article presents a review of the technical advances including higher ultrasound beam energy than current thermal HIFU which allows for more accurate tissue targeting, less collateral tissue damage, and faster treatment times. Finally, the article presents a discussion about the advantage of ultrasound guidance for histotripsy in preference to magnetic resonance imaging guidance primarily based on cost, ease of application, and portability.
