This phase 2 study evaluates the outcomes of salvage magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (sTULSA).</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Men with biochemically relapsed, biopsy-proven PCa following definitive radiotherapy underwent whole- or partial-gland sTULSA (NCT03350529). Prostate-confined recurrence was confirmed by MRI and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT). The primary endpoints were safety (Clavien-Dindo classification) and efficacy (prostate-specific antigen [PSA], PSMA PET-CT, and MRI-targeted biopsy at 12 mo). The secondary endpoints included functional and survival outcomes.</div></div><div><h3>Key findings and limitations</h3><div>Thirty-nine patients underwent sTULSA (64% whole gland), with a median age of 73 yr (interquartile range [IQR]: 69–77) and PSA of 3.3 ng/ml (IQR: 2–6.2). Three patients had undergone prior salvage therapy, 16 were receiving hormonal therapy at enrollment, and 12 had a history of transurethral interventions. Eighteen patients had incidental urethral strictures on baseline cystoscopy. Over a median follow-up of 40 mo (IQR: 24–55), 56% experienced adverse events. Severe genitourinary toxicity (Clavien-Dindo ≥3 or hospitalization) occurred in 28%, including three patients with puboprostatic fistulas and two patients requiring cystectomy. Leak-free continence was maintained in 53%. At 12 mo, 89% showed no cancer in the targeted area, with a median PSA reduction of 95% (<em>p</em> < 0.001). Five-year metastasis-free, failure-free, and biochemical recurrence–free survival probabilities (95% confidence interval) were 97% (0.93–1.00), 70% (0.54–0.91), and 54% (0.31–0.93), respectively.

We found that the treatment provided effective and lasting cancer control for most patients. However, a notable number of patients experienced significant genitourinary toxicity, including severe adverse effects affecting urinary function. Careful patient selection is crucial to minimize these adverse effects and ensure the best results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12254,"journal":{"name":"European Urology Open Science","volume":"71 ","pages":"Pages 69-77"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11656090/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142863660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
