This necessitates an alternative option, focal ablation, which has good oncological control while reducing treatment-related functional detriments. Although mid-term oncological and functional outcomes of focal ablation were proven, the long-term outcomes were lacking. We sought to report the long-term oncological and functional outcomes of focal cryoablation for non-metastatic PCa treatment. METHODS: An IRB-approved retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of patients who have undergone focal ablation of the prostate at Duke between 2005-2020 with a minimum follow-up of 3 yrs. The primary outcome was to determine the 5-year and 10-year failure-free survival (FFS), defined as the avoidance of salvage therapy including radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, repeat ablation, systemic therapy, and metastasis/cancer-specific death, cancer-specific survival (CSS), overall survival (OS) and metastasis-free survival (MFS). The secondary outcome was to study the functional outcomes using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and preserved erectile function (patient-reported, with/without pharmacologic intervention, defined as an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse of those patients who were initially potent IIEF 5>17) at 12 months. RESULTS: 70 patients with complete data met the study inclusion criteria. The median follow-up was 86 mo (interquartile range IQR 46-113). The median age was 75 yrs (69-80) and the median preoperative PSA was 6.5 ng/ml (4.7-9.34). Of 70 patients, 43 (61%) and 21 (30%) patients had D'Amico intermediate- and high-risk disease. FFS was 84% (95% confidence interval CI 72-91%) at 5 yrs and 58% (95% CI 41-72%) at 10 yrs, respectively. The MFS, CSS, and OS at 10 yr were 94% (95% CI 85-98%), 98% (95% CI 89-99%), and 88% (95% CI 75-95%), respectively. About 73% (32/44) of patients who were initially potent were able to maintain erections sufficient for sexual intercourse and 97% (68/70) of patients are continent requiring no pad usage at 12-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Primary focal cryoablation has good long-term oncological control in men with localized PCa. Focal ablation may be a better option for men who desire to preserve good functional outcomes and thus quality of life.
