Abstract

Partial gland ablation with high intensity focused ultrasound therapy was safe and it had a minimal impact on functional outcomes. Local recurrence and/or failure occurred in 42% of patients at high risk for recurrence. Medially located tumors were associated with a higher failure rate. Serious complications were rare. Whole gland treatment was avoided in 81% of patients.
