PURPOSE: To share our experience using transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) treatment for focal therapy of localized prostate cancer (PCa). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 10/2019 and 06/2021 TULSA treatment for localized PCa was performed in 22 men (mean age: 67 ± 7 years, mean initial PSA: 6.8 ± 2.1 ng/ml, ISUP 1 in n = 6, ISUP 2 in n = 14 and 2 patients with recurrence after previous radiotherapy). Patients were selected by an interdisciplinary team, taking clinical parameters, histopathology from targeted or systematic biopsies, mpMRI and patients preferences into consideration. Patients were thoroughly informed about alternative treatment options and that TULSA is an individual treatment approach. High-intensity ultrasound was applied using an ablation device placed in the prostatic urethra. Heat-development within the prostatic tissue was monitored using MR-thermometry. Challenges during the ablation procedure and follow-up of oncologic and functional outcome of at least 12 months after TULSA treatment were documented. RESULTS: No major adverse events were documented. In the 12 month follow-up period, no significant changes of urinary continence, irritative/obstructive voiding symptoms, bowel irritation or hormonal symptoms were reported according to the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) score. Erectile function was significantly impaired 3-6 months (p < 0.01) and 9-12 months (p < 0.05) after TULSA. PSA values significantly decreased after therapy (2.1 ± 1.8 vs. 6.8 ± 2.1 ng/ml, p < 0.001). PCa recurrence rate was 23% (5/22 patients). CONCLUSION: Establishment of TULSA in clinical routine was unproblematic, short-term outcome seems to be encouraging. The risk of erectile function impairment requires elaborate information of the patient.
目的:分享我们使用经尿道超声消融(TULSA)治疗局限性前列腺癌(PCa)的局部治疗的经验。
材料和方法:2019 年 10 月至 2021 年 6 月,22 名男性接受了 TULSA 治疗局限性 PCa(平均年龄:67±7 岁,平均初始 PSA:6.8±2.1ng/ml,ISUP 1 级 n=6,ISUP 2 级 n=14,2 例患者在先前放疗后复发)。患者由一个多学科团队选择,考虑临床参数、靶向或系统活检的组织病理学、mpMRI 和患者的偏好。患者充分了解替代治疗方案,并了解 TULSA 是一种个体化治疗方法。高强度超声通过放置在前列腺尿道中的消融设备应用。使用 MR 测温法监测前列腺组织内的热发展。记录消融过程中的挑战以及 TULSA 治疗后至少 12 个月的肿瘤和功能结果的随访情况。
结果:未记录到重大不良事件。在 12 个月的随访期间,根据扩展前列腺癌指数综合评分(EPIC),未报告尿控、刺激性/梗阻性排尿症状、肠道刺激或激素症状的显著变化。TULSA 治疗后 3-6 个月(p<0.01)和 9-12 个月(p<0.05),勃起功能显著受损。治疗后 PSA 值显著降低(2.1±1.8 与 6.8±2.1ng/ml,p<0.001)。PCa 复发率为 23%(22 例患者中有 5 例)。
结论:在临床常规中建立 TULSA 是没有问题的,短期结果似乎令人鼓舞。勃起功能受损的风险需要患者的详细信息。
