Dr Amir Lebastchi, MD USC Urology discussing the role of focal therapy vs RT/AS/surgery for the management of prostate cancer #AUA2025 Focal Therapy Society Amer. Urol. Assn. YUO Society of Urologic Oncology


Focal therapy enters the chat! At SUO mtg Society of Urologic Oncology #AUA25 Focal Therapy is included with the orthodox standards of AS, RT and surgery. Amir Lebastchi, MD makes a compelling case for #focaltherapy, with Scott Eggener Bogdana Schmidt MD, MPH and Sophia Kamran highlighting the many choices for men


Amir Lebastchi, MD shows why focal therapy is preferred for favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer: •Radical tx doesn’t lower mortality •Hurts QOL •50% of patients on AS ends up getting treated by 8 years Focal therapy = effective, less invasive, better QOL. #AUA25 Society of Urologic Oncology

Transition to a ‘salvage’ approach with objective criteria, bespoke to each initial treatment, to control against physician bias is only realistic way
