Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prostate cancer affects one in eight men in their lifetime. The current standard of care to treat localized prostate cancer is a radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy to the prostate. Following either of these therapies, prostate cancer may recur. Patients with localized recurrence may be a candidate for salvage radiation, salvage prostatectomy or whole gland ablation. These therapies cause can lead to worsening functional outcomes.
In this special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Work up of PSA recurrence following surgery/radiation.
- Interpretation of mpMRI after focal therapy.
- Role of salvage radical prostatectomy in patients with radiation resistant prostate cancer.
- Role of salvage cryoablation in patients with radiation resistant prostate cancer.
- Role of salvage HIFU in patients with radiation resistant prostate cancer.
- Role of salvage radiation therapy in patients with PSA recurrence after radical prostatectomy.
- Salvage therapy for patients after focal therapy.
- Management of fistula from salvage therapy to the prostate.
- Incontinence after treatment for prostate cancer.
- Erectile dysfunction after treatment for prostate cancer.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
