We sought to identify pre-treatment factors that predict persistent cancer at 1 year. METHODS: 144 patients underwent focal HIFU for localized prostate cancer at a single institution from 2016-2022. We excluded patients if they had undergone prior radiation, ADT or HIFU treatment (N=15) or if biopsy results at 1 year were unavailable (N=52), resulting in a cohort of 77 patients. Treatment failure was defined as ISUP Grade Group≥2 on 12-month biopsy, which consisted in repeat MRI, targeted biopsy of suspicious PIRADS v2.1≥3 lesions, and systematic biopsy. We conducted univariate logistic regression analysis of pre-treatment factors that may be associated with treatment failure. RESULTS: At 1-year biopsy, 18% of treated subjects had ISUP Grade Group≥2 cancer. We identified 16 covariates for analysis (Table 1). Lesion location was the only factor associated with treatment failure; involvement of the base conferred an increased risk for failure (OR=3.55, p=0.046, AUC=0.63), whereas involvement of the mid-gland was protective (OR=0.22, p=0.016, AUC=0.68). Peripheral zone lesions were less likely to result in failure than central gland lesions (OR=0.22, p=0.042, AUC=0.60, Table 2). CONCLUSIONS: Involvement of the prostate base was associated with a threefold increase in the odds of treatment failure following focal HIFU for localized prostate cancer. Conversely, the involvement of the mid-gland and/or peripheral zone were associated with significantly decreased odds of treatment failure. Urologists should consider lesion location when selecting patients for focal HIFU.
