Introduction
Prostate cancer is the most common (noncutaneous) cancer among American men affecting one in eight men in their lifetime [1].
According to the American Cancer Society,
288,300 men will be diagnosed with prostate
cancer in 2023, and, unfortunately, more than
Pre-chapter note: This section of our chapter is dedicated
to the Patient Advisory Council of the Focal Therapy
Society (formerly under the International Laser Network
and absorbed by the Focal Therapy Society in October
2020). These patients have participated in meetings and
provided important feedback for over a decade. The group
has changed over the years and has been comprised of
physicians, businessmen, athletes, and attorneys, and was
initially led by a health actuary. This section will specically address what they believe patients need when considering focal therapy as a rst-line treatment for prostate
cancer.

34,700 will die of prostate cancer this year [1].
Although prostate cancer screening has been
shown to decrease prostate cancer-specic mortality by more than 50% since the Prostate
Specic Antigen (PSA) test was rst introduced
in the late 1980s, its widespread use remains one
of the most controversial issues in the world of
urologic oncology, urology, in general, and public health [2–4]. The management of organ-conned prostate cancer is similarly complex as not
all diagnosed cancers require immediate treatment, while for some, early detection and more
aggressive management are necessary to optimize the possibility of cure. The conundrum for
the gentlemen diagnosed with prostate cancer
and the urologists called to the task of their care
lies not only in the decision of who to treat and
when, but also how. Herein lies the art in the
management of prostate cancer as many different
alternatives can and should be considered, each
with its own unique benets and individual risks.
The elegance of this conversation is truly based
on the concept of a personalized approach to
prostate cancer care.
Deciding “what to do?” is a challenging process for a man recently diagnosed with prostate
cancer. Often, he has had no symptoms, no warning that “something was wrong,” and is likely to
be overwhelmed by the possible urinary, sexual,
and bowel-related side effects associated with the
therapeutic choices presented to him. Ultimately,
most men diagnosed with prostate cancer are
looking for a way to best treat their cancer, while

simultaneously doing their best to nd an alternative that will minimize the possible impact of that
treatment on their quality of life. This dilemma
continues to grow more challenging for both
patients and their urologists/physicians as longterm studies, such as the recently published
15-year ProtecT trial (comparing active observation, radical prostatectomy, and radiotherapy),
show that prostate cancer-specic mortality
remained low regardless of the treatment
assigned. Thus, the authors concluded that “the
choice of therapy involves weighing trade-offs
between benets and harms associated with treatments for localized prostate cancer.” [5] Keeping
all of this in mind is of utmost importance when
beginning any conversation regarding the management of any man newly diagnosed with prostate cancer. The support and participation of
family members and trusted loved ones should be
encouraged and appreciated.
Once the specics regarding the stage, grade,
and aggressiveness of his prostate cancer have
been reviewed and the appropriate work-up
underway, discussions regarding management
options should begin, if they have not already.
The patient must have a clear understanding of
his disease and the role that this understanding
will play in his decision-making regarding the
management of his prostate cancer. The decisionmaking process begins with a consideration of
active surveillance versus treatments aimed at a
denitive cure. If the patient’s prostate cancer
does not meet the criteria for active surveillance
(and/or if he expresses strong opposition to the
idea despite a detailed discussion of all the risks,
benets, and alternatives), then the focus should
turn toward more curative treatment options.
When initially diagnosed with prostate cancer,
the initial choice a man must make is one of surveillance versus treatment. If treatment is decided, when
reviewing the various denitive treatment options
for prostate cancer, the patient must decide either in
favor of a surgical or ablative approach to treat his
prostate cancer or rather a radiation-based option for
treatment, such as brachytherapy or external beam
radiotherapy. If he prefers an ablative approach, is he
a candidate for focal therapy? If so, are the focal
therapy options available of interest to him? It is
important for the patient to have a clear understanding of the risks, benets, and alternatives to all the
options available, including those specic to focal
therapy. The urologist, as well as any physician
engaged in these conversations, must always be
empathetic and compassionate to the specic concerns and the specic goals that are important to the
individual challenged to make this difcult
decision.
Informed Consent
Given the current status of Focal Therapy in the
United States, patient education, discussion of
alternatives, and the entire informed consent process are critical components of the pre-ablation
workup. The Informed Consent Document (ICD),
whether for clinical performance of focal therapy
or performance under IRB-approved research
protocol, is the perfect teaching tool to fully disclose all aspects of the treatment being offered as
well as other alternatives. Risks and benets are
documented, fully disclosed, and nally, discussed. Patients should have all of their questions
answered prior to signing the informed consent
and a copy should be provided to them for future
reference. The “Teach Back Method” may also
be used to identify any gaps in understanding or
clarify important points.
Patients, spouses, and family members of men
with newly diagnosed prostate cancer can be
overwhelmed with the diagnosis and treatment
options available. Often, the shock of their diagnosis sends them into a fact-nding frenzy that
leaves them more confused than when they
began, ending up in a state of “analysis paralysis.” We have a duty to share our knowledge and
experience to help them condently face their
treatment decisions armed with evidence-based
medicine. Strongly acknowledging the current
standard of care methods for the treatment of the
disease is crucial and needs to be done thoroughly
and transparently.

4 The Patient’s Perspective: What Does thePatient Want?

What Does thePatient Want?
Simply, and as previously discussed, the majority
of men diagnosed with prostate cancer are
engaged in a dual quest: they seek the most effective therapeutic approach to manage their malignancy, while concurrently aiming to minimize
the treatment’s impact on their overall quality of
life. This dilemma frequently constitutes a complex, nuanced, and arduous decision-making
process.
In the face of a prostate cancer diagnosis,
patients are confronted with tough decisions
regarding their treatment options. These decisions can be overwhelming and anxiety- inducing,
as patients are not only grappling with their
health but also considering the potential shortand long-term consequences of their chosen
treatment. Prostate cancer is a complex disease
that requires careful consideration of various factors when determining the most appropriate treatment approach. Patients must weigh the potential
risks and benets of each treatment option, taking into account factors such as their age, overall
health, tumor characteristics, and personal
preferences.
When discussing ablative options with
patients, a focal therapy practitioner must engage
the patients in the decision-making process and
explain the nuances of these decisions, as many
patients interested in focal therapy are well
researched and opinionated. Patients want information about all energy sources, imaging guidance, and surgical approaches. While most
patients recognize that there are currently no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing
various energy sources, they seek to understand
the mechanisms of action of each, their benets,
and their drawbacks. They want comparisons to
other options in the context of their individual
situation and are interested in statistics on both
oncologic and functional outcomes. With recurrence anticipated with focal treatments of prostate cancer, retreatment options must be discussed
candidly. Many patients request repeat focal therapy when facing recurrence, whether or not it is
in-eld or out-of-eld, to avoid the morbidity of
whole gland treatment.
The ideal focal therapy discussion is patientcentered and involves three meaningful outcomes: cancer control, maintenance of sexual
function, and urinary function. This “trifecta” of
excellent outcomes is the goal of most focal therapy providers and the outcome that the patients
are seeking, regardless of tumor location, size,
and energy modality utilized. Balancing cancer
control and quality of life is of paramount importance; it is about arriving at a balance between the
cancer’s biology, the patient’s priorities, and the
tools the provider has to best achieve these
outcomes.
As most patients do consider the “trifecta”
outcome the priority during the treatment of their
localized prostate cancer, how often can we attain
these excellent oncologic and functional outcomes? While minor differences exist between
energy modalities in terms of oncologic and
functional outcomes, most studies report good
oncologic outcomes with excellent functional
results during follow-up, in both urinary and sexual domains (Table 4.1). Patient selection, a
detailed and thorough pre-operative workup, successful ablation with care taken to margins and
tissue destruction, and detailed follow-up are all
crucial to achieving this “Trifecta” outcome,
regardless of the energy choice selected [6].

4 The Patient’s Perspective: What Does thePatient Want?
Why Focal Therapy?
Prostate cancer presents a multifaceted clinical
challenge affecting millions of men globally [7].
Upon diagnosis, patients encounter a diverse
array of treatment modalities, including surgery,
radiation therapy, and androgen deprivation therapy. Among these, focal therapy has garnered
increasing interest as a targeted and minimally
invasive option, particularly for those with lowto- intermediate risk, localized disease.
Why focal therapy: a patient’s perspective
[Given this chapter’s patient-centered
focus, we wanted to include an interview
with a Patient Advisory Council member,
Mr. “D”].
What drew me to focal [therapy], and what
would plausibly draw most men, is a preservation of options. This strong benet is
not offered by either of the whole-gland
therapies. Of course, surgery is a profound
commitment with both short- and longterm complications. Radiation also represents a commitment as surgery seldom
follows.
I was not convinced that the oncological
control of focal [therapy] was worse than
surgery or radiation. I knew recurrence
was a possibility in direct conversations
with the surgical team.
At 53, rst diagnosed at 50, I have prioritized sexual function and oncological control nearly equally. Others may question
that approach. However, this is another
dimension on which the preservation of
future options through focal therapy underpinned my decision for it. I appreciate that
sufferers of other more aggressive and dangerous cancers seldom have short-term
options. I feel quite fortunate to have had
options. As a younger prostate cancer sufferer, with 20 working years ahead of me, I
felt strongly compelled to preserve sexual-
51
ity. The least of the priorities was urinary
continence.
Emotional well-being is a strong priority
for me and that undergirds much of my
attraction to focal therapy. Early postdiagnosis, I was assured bluntly that the
only path was prostatectomy, with sexuality
and continence to be addressed later. I
feared regret and I was vexed by the lack of
intellectual curiosity of two urologists and
their unwillingness to cede any complexity
on treatment decisions. Focal therapy was
introduced to me in a transformative conversation. Understandably, providers cannot offer guarantees long-term, but, for the
rst time in my journey, apprehensions
were acknowledged and some authorship
was offered. I felt dignity.
I strongly believe that focal oncological
control was on-par with all available methods and I emerged whole. As I understand
it, the [treatment] is narrow enough to
address cancer and preserve nearby structures. More broadly, options were preserved and I felt a real sense of participation
in my treatment and will have focal [therapy] as many times as necessary and permitted. I cannot endorse this technology
more. I have not the slightest reservation
and would eagerly describe it to any man
who asked my opinion. Research scientists
offer a glimpse of the future with this effective and dignied treatment.—Mr. D.
Focal therapy uniquely addresses the balance
between effective cancer control and quality-oflife preservation by targeting only the canceraffected portion of the prostate. Focal therapy
targets only the cancerous part of the prostate,
sparing the rest of the gland, and thereby reducing the risk of unwanted side effects. Simply, the
theory guiding the concept of focal therapy is that
the more prostate you preserve, the more function you preserve. This theory is well rooted in
the treatment of other solid-organ malignancies,

52
J. Fainberg et al.
where organ-sparing surgery is routine in clinical
practice, given the lack of disgurement (lumpectomy versus mastectomy) or deterioration of
function (partial nephrectomy versus radical
nephrectomy) that organ sparing surgery can
offer. This selectivity offers signicant advantages, notably minimizing urinary and sexual
side effects commonly associated with traditional
whole-gland treatments like radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy. Focal therapy thus
emerges as a compelling intermediate between
active surveillance—often seen as an approach of
minimal intervention—and more aggressive radical treatments, effectively positioning itself as a
viable rst-line strategy for specic cases of
localized, and especially unilateral, organconned prostate cancer.
Technologically, focal therapy benets from
advancements in imaging, advanced diagnostic,
and interventional techniques. The use of MRI
and targeted biopsies allows for the precise identication of tumor foci, optimizing the treatment
plan. The evolving armamentarium of focal
modalities, including (but not limited to) highintensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), cryotherapy, focal laser ablation (FLA), irreversible
electroporation (IRE), and photodynamic therapy
(PDT), provides clinicians the exibility to customize therapy based on tumor characteristics,
including size and location. These technologies
not only enhance the accuracy of treatment delivery but also facilitate real-time monitoring and
follow-up, crucial elements for gauging efcacy
and patient outcomes.
For patients and urologists alike, focal therapy
is redening the therapeutic landscape for localized prostate cancer by offering a nuanced
approach that aims to bridge the gap between
active surveillance and more aggressive radical
treatment options. Its patient-centric focus on
minimizing adverse effects while achieving targeted cancer control places it as a highly appealing option, particularly for those with targetable,
localized diseases. However, its integration into
standard care protocols will need further and
more comprehensive long-term data in order to
conrm, to a greater extent, its continued longterm safety and efcacy.
