Great point-counterpoint at the podium today: @veerukasi arguing biparametric MRI should be the new standard of care for prostate cancer diagnosis vs @RaisBahrami making the case to keep contrast. PRIME (JAMA 2025) says bpMRI is noninferior to mpMRI for csPCa (29.0% vs 29.6%, 555 men, 22 centers). Shorter scan, no gadolinium. The counterargument: DCE still helps with equivocal PI-RADS 3 lesions and better defines lesion size, which matters for focal therapy planning. Where do you land? @FocalSociety @Endo_Society #ProstateCancer #bpMRI #PRIMEtrial #FTS2026 @JAMA_current

The data for focal isn’t mature enough. However for 70+ year old gents with 3+4 -4+3 I think it’s fine. Likewise, for the 50 year old with 3+4 that doesn’t want surgery, I’d rather go with AS.
We need RCTs and long term follow up.
The cash only practices that will focal anyone are wrong.
However I’m surprised the at the vitriol from people at the even the pushing the science. Disclaimer, I don’t do any focal.
Patients want this. They ask for it everyday.
This shouldnt be about whether focal is going to replace RT or RARP, but rather who are the right patients in which focal provides adaquet oncologic benefit while decreasing side effect.
No matter how good of a surgeon your are, or if you believe RT is without side effects, focal has less side effects.
We need to investigate this option.

To our Medicine colleagues:
When surgeons say a case will be ’more difficult’, they don’t mean it just requires more effort, like a tougher Peloton workout.
It means the case has a higher risk of morbidity, which no amount of skill or perseverance will totally overcome. 🧐
