Abstract
Purpose: To characterize patient outcomes following visually directed high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for focal treatment of localized prostate cancer. // Methods: We performed a systematic review of cancer-control outcomes and complication rates among men with localized prostate cancer treated with visually directed focal HIFU. Study outcomes were calculated using a random-effects meta-analysis model. // Results: A total of 8 observational studies with 1,819 patients (median age 67 years; prostate-specific antigen 7.1 mg/ml; prostate volume 36 ml) followed over a median of 24 months were included. The mean prostate-specific antigen nadir following visually directed focal HIFU was 2.2 ng/ml (95% CI 0.9–3.5 ng/ml), achieved after a median of 6 months post-treatment. A clinically significant positive biopsy was identified in 19.8% (95% CI 12.4–28.3%) of cases. Salvage treatment rates were 16.2% (95% CI 9.7–23.8%) for focal- or whole-gland treatment, and 8.6% (95% CI 6.1–11.5%) for whole-gland treatment. Complication rates were 16.7% (95% CI 9.9–24.6%) for de novo erectile dysfunction, 6.2% (95% CI 0.0–19.0%) for urinary retention, 3.0% (95% CI 2.1–3.9%) for urinary tract infection, 1.9% (95% CI 0.1–5.3%) for urinary incontinence, and 0.1% (95% CI 0.0–1.4%) for bowel injury. // Conclusion: Limited evidence from eight observational studies demonstrated that visually directed HIFU for focal treatment of localized prostate cancer was associated with a relatively low risk of complications and acceptable cancer control over medium-term follow-up. Comparative, long-term safety and effectiveness results with visually directed focal HIFU are lacking.
