Recurrent prostate cancer after failed radiation therapy is a difficult clinical problem. Additional radiation is usually not feasible and salvage radical prostatectomy has high complication rates and often leaves cancer behind.

We believe in an aggressive approach to the early diagnosis of the full extent of the cancer recurrence in these patients since left untreated many patients will succumb to this agressive form of cancer. Using 3D Prostate Mapping Biopsies the extent of cancer is determined and if feasible a focal "Lumpectomy" approach to limit the possibility for complications, is carried out. Cryoablation is currently the only prostate cancer treatment specifically approved by Medicare for treating patients who have failed radiation.
