Less damaging focal treatments - how well do they work?

The report states that for intermediate-risk men, focal therapy is giving the same outcome at 5 years (that's as far as they have data for..) as having an RP. For high-risk men - maybe not so much.

In both cases, the quality of life is superior with the focal treatments.
