• Focal therapy selectively ablates locally confined, clinically significant index lesion with a margin while sparing rest of gland and adjacent vital structures. • Magnetic resonance-guided focused high frequency ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) combines MRI with HIFU. • MRgFUS provides ability to monitor treatments in real time and allows a targeted approach for focal ablation. • MRgFUS is a feasible, safe method of noninvasively ablating low-intermediate risk PCa. • MRgFUS provides acceptable oncologic outcomes at 6 months.
