Focal ablation laser can be successful,for early stage PCa. 10-21 . GLEASON 3-4 , 5% PSA , 4.7. After treatment. No major erection issues long term, no need for tadalafil. PSA steadily declined. Recent MRI clear 3-24. and my ejaculate ducts were saved as well. PSA 0.4. So so far so good. Get an 2nd advise Dr Eric Walser. UTMB. HOUSTON, I believe there may be an abscopal effect that occurs around the zone of ablation. This forum. keeps focal ablation research and advances down. Cowtows to UCLA , SBRT , as preferred treatment only. Won't give Dr. Eric Walser a forum or interview. Won't give Dr Thomas Seyfried a forum or interview and won't create awareness about how many followers of Jane McClelland metro map nutrition and repurposed drug usage. How to starve cancer. Has them in remission.

I know focal therapy has a place but I did lots of research and had Gleason 7 3 plus <5% after MRI and biopsy only one side no spread - PSA 4.2 aged 69. Repeated on a year when PSA rose to 5.6 and repeat MrI and biopsy - No change maybe slight increase in size in MRI but biopsy still G 7 3 months later I went for HIFU and insisted for ANOTHER MRI and confirm absolutely no change
7 months later Gleason 9 (4+20%5) on previous clear side and recurrce on edge of treatment area of HIFU (3+4)
We can all be unlucky but I think it confirms that PCa is unpredictable
IMO it's recognized as a viable low risk alternative to active surveillance.
I would seek additional medical opinions to ensure that if the PCa developed further that other future more invasive treatments would not be hindered..
Wasn't an option for me with an aggressive and high Gleason score
