Precision Radiation Therapy: Low- to Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer

Michael Zelefsky, MD, discusses the need for advances in molecular imaging and radiomics and for integrating these techniques with precision radiation therapy in order to improve selective dose delivery for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients. He describes evolving methods of radiation delivery, dose planning, reducing radiation exposure to normal tissues, and delineation of the dominant intraprostatic lesion in this era of dose-escalation.

The Pros of Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Jeffrey A. Jones, MD, argues that although radical therapy leads to better oncological control than focal therapy, focal therapy may be more appropriate for certain prostate cancer patients in order to mitigate adverse effects. He examines oncological and quality of life outcomes of localized therapies, specifically cryotherapy and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
