“…Approximately 19% to 33% of men with prostate cancer have unifocal disease [8,9]. A large study performed at the Duke Prostate Center detected an overall rate of unilateral tumors at 19% based on a surgical pathology review of 1184 men undergoing radical prostatectomy for clinically localized disease [9].…”

“…A large study performed at the Duke Prostate Center detected an overall rate of unilateral tumors at 19% based on a surgical pathology review of 1184 men undergoing radical prostatectomy for clinically localized disease [9]. Therefore, investigators have proposed focal cryosurgery, similar to a lumpectomy for breast cancer, as a treatment for localized prostate cancer.…”

Radical retropubic prostatectomy and radiation therapy remain the mainstay of treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, with the advent of the Internet, more patients are arriving in physicians' offices questioning novel techniques for their treatment that they otherwise would not have discovered. This paper discusses several of these techniques, including focal cryotherapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound, robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, diets, supplements, and hormonal therapy. We also render our opinion on their efficacy for treatment based on the available published studies.
