We reviewed multiple peer review articles obtained from a PubMed search. While in field biopsy recurrence rates approach 20%, failure free survival and overall survival exceeds 90%. While focal therapy for unfavorable GG3 intermediate risk prostate cancer may have higher rates of local recurrence with appropriate post procedure follow up, patients who need salvage therapy are easily identified and survival rates are very high. Focal therapy is a good option for patients with localized low volume GG3 prostate cancer without compromising cancer survival and preserving quality of life.
