Moreira P, Tuncali K, Tempany C, Tokuda J
Acad Radiol . 2023 May; 30 Suppl 1:S14-S20. PMID: 37236896
Rationale And Objectives: Focal therapies have emerged as minimally invasive alternatives for patients with localized low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) and those with postradiation recurrence. Among the available focal treatment methods...
