Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Targeted Biopsies Compared to Transperineal Mapping Biopsies Before Focal Ablation in Localised and Metastatic Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radiotherapy

Patients who are being investigated for recurrent prostate cancer after previous radiotherapy should undergo prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with both systematic and MRI-targeted biopsies to optimise cancer detection. Subsequent treatment with focal ablation offers a means for cancer control while preserving urinary continence in the majority of patients.
