%X ew era of minimally invasive interventions for prostate cancer: robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and focal therapy Review (3136) Total Article Views Authors: Schatloff O, Louis AS, Lindner U Published Date October 2011 Volume 2011:4 Pages 45 - 51 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/OAS.S14557 Oscar Schatloff1, Alyssa S Louis2, Uri Lindner2 1Global Robotics Institute, Florida Hospital Celebration Health, Celebration, FL, USA; 2Division of Urology, Department of Surgical Oncology, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada Abstract: Prostate cancer remains a common but highly treatable disease. Innovations in prostate cancer treatment have allowed a transition toward minimally invasive approaches in an attempt to avoid treatment-related morbidities. In the middle of the treatment spectrum between radical open surgeries and active surveillance lies robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) and focal therapy (FT). This review sets out the most current information on RALP and FT (including laser ablation, cryotherapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound, photodynamic therapy, and irreversible electroporation).
