For clinically localized prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy remains the gold standard treatment. New forms of minimally invasive therapies are Sought Out by patients, however, because of the potential morbidity associated with open surgery. With quality-of-life aspects influencing patient decision making, minimally invasive therapeutic modalities have generated great interest among patients.
