Salvage HIFU for Local Recurrence in the Prostatic Bed After Prostatectomy and External Beam Radiation Therapy : Preliminary Results

Patients were treated using dedicated post-EBRT parameters (5-s pulse, 5-s waiting period, 90% of the acoustic power). Between July 2005 and November 2018, at Edouard Herriot Hospital (Lyon, France), 22 consecutive patients were treated with S-HIFU for a local recurrence after RP and salvage or adjuvant EBRT. The oncological outcomes (treatment failure-free survival, progression-free survival), the adverse events and urinary incontinence were retrospectively reviewed.
