Oral Abstracts – SV Recurrences After Radiation – Summary
Aaron E. Katz, MD, FACS, examines the clinical management of seminal vesicle (SV) invasion following radiation therapy in prostate cancer patients. In this 18-minute presentation, Dr. Katz highlights its significance in recurrence and treatment, emphasizing the anatomy, detection, prognosis, and ablative techniques for managing SV invasion.
Dr. Katz shares emerging management options, including robotic excision of SVs and cryotherapy. Integrating PSMA PET scans and MRI enhances diagnostic accuracy, aiding surgical planning.
Dr. Katz calls for a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing careful patient selection and robust imaging protocols. Ablative therapies, while feasible, require expertise and may benefit from combining modalities for optimal outcomes.
Frontiers in Oncologic Prostate Care and Ablative Local Therapy (FOCAL) is an outstanding program on prostate imaging, transperineal interventions, and ablative treatments for prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Bringing together community-based, academic, and industry partners, FOCAL offers lectures by world-renowned faculty and hands-on training workshops on in-office transperineal interventions, fusion-guided prostate ablation and state-of-the-art BPH management with novel technologies.
