METHODS: We identified consecutive patients who underwent hemi-gland HIFU or CRYO FT as primary treatment for localized PCa at three US institutions (IRB# HS-17-00749). A survey with validated questionnaires was mailed between February and December of 2020, including: 5-question Decision Regret Scale (DRS); International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS); and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). Potency was defined as IIEF-5 ≥ 18. The regret score was calculated based on the 5 items of DRS (Figure). Agreement with each item is measured on a 5-point scale and the final score is converted to a 0-100 scale. Regret was defined as DRS ≥ 26. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to assess baseline and post-FT predictors for treatment decision regret. Statistically significant if p<0.05. RESULTS: Out of 236 patients, 143 (61%) responded the survey (71/116 HIFU and 72/120 CRYO). Baseline characteristics were similar between responders and no-responders. For the responders, the median (IQR) follow-up was 43 (26-68) months. The treatment decision regret rate was 19.6%, being CRYO 23.6% vs. HIFU 15.5% (OR 1.7, p=0.22). The Figure shows the details of patients’ responses to each DRS question. Higher PSA at nadir (OR 1.48, 95%CI 1.1-2, p=0.009) post FT, presence of PCa on the follow-up biopsy (OR 3.98, 95%CI 1.5-10.6, p=0.006), higher IPSS after FT (OR 1.18, 95%CI 1.01-1.04, p=0.03), and de-novo impotence (OR 6.67, 95%CI 1.57-27, p=0.03) were independent predictors of treatment decision regret. CONCLUSIONS: Focal therapy for localized PCa is well-accepted by the patients. Higher PSA at nadir, presence of cancer on the follow-up biopsy, higher post-operative IPSS, and de-novo impotence are independent predictors of treatment decision regret.
