Abstract
ABSTRACT Purpose: Focal cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for localized prostate cancer (PCa), but its oncological outcomes, particularly in relation to baseline Gleason Grade Group (GG), remain understudied. This study evaluates its efficacy and the impact while radical of baseline Gleason score on recurrence-free survival. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis included 111 patients with localized PCa treated with focal cryotherapy between 2014 and January 2024. Patients with prior treatments or follow-up 1. Results: Median follow-up was 35 months (IQR 24–49). Confirmato
