MRI accuracy for clinically-significant recurrence after partial gland ablation with HIFU for localized prostate cancer shows low diagnostic performance in the treated lobe with pooled sensitivity of 0.52 (95% CI:0.36-0.68) and specificity of 0.81 (95% CI:0.68-0.91). Limits of this review include the low number of studies reporting about site of recurrence in or out of the treated lobe.
