focal therapy is rapidly advancing with new energy sources, technological improvements, and increasing operator expertise. To further optimize FT, research should prioritize evaluating the safety and effectiveness of different energy sources for various lesion locations, focusing on the treatment area rather than the energy modality itself.

Background/Objectives: Focal therapy (FT) and technology are closely connected. Advanced imaging allows for precise identification of the index lesion, enabling the targeted use of various thermal and non-thermal energy sources through different approaches, with specific techniques tailored to lesio...
