Summary:Prostate cancer (PCa) is a prevalent malignancy in men, and the management of localized disease has evolved significantly in recent years. Focal therapy, wherein the biopsy confirmed site of tumor with margins is treated leaving the remaining gland intact, has emerged as a promising strategy for treating localized clinically significant PCa, minimizing side effects associated with radical therapies. We present the technical aspects, a summary of the most relevant evidence to date on the performance and safety of this technique, and the characteristic MR imaging findings during treatment, in the early posttreatment period and in the long term.
