Focal Laser Ablation for Localized Prostate Cancer: Principles, Clinical Trials, and Our Initial Experience
Ted Lee, BS, Neil Mendhiratta, BA, Dan Sperling, MD, DABR, Herbert Lepor, MD
The authors present the principles of laser ablation, the role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for delineating the site of significant prostate cancer, a summary of published clinical studies and their initial experience with 23 patients, criteria for selecting candidates for focal prostate ablation, and speculation regarding future directions.
Proton Beam Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer 101: Basics, Controversies, and Facts
Eric S. Wisenbaugh, MD, Paul E. Andrews, MD, Robert G. Ferrigni, MD, Steven E. Schild, MD, Sameer R. Keole, MD, William W. Wong, MD, Sujay A. Vora, MD
This article reviews the basic science of the proton beam, examines the reasons for both the hype and the controversy surrounding proton beam therapy, and, most importantly, examines the literature so that every urologist is able to comfortably discuss this option with patients.
Solitary Renal Fossa Recurrence of Renal Cell Carcinoma After Nephrectomy
Ji-Jian Chow, MBBS, MA (Cantab), Kamran Ahmed, MRCS, PhD, Zahoor Fazili, MRCS, Mohammed Sheikh, FRCS (Urol), Matin Sheriff, FRCS (Urol), FEBU, PhD
Renal cell carcinoma without metastasis responds well to surgical excision but is known to recur after nephrectomy. The authors suggest a protocol for the treatment of solitary renal fossa recurrence of renal cell carcinoma postnephrectomy.
Treating Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome as a Chronic Disease
Philip C. Bosch, MD, David C. Bosch, BA
The management of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is both frustrating and difficult. The etiology is uncertain and there is no definitive treatment. This article reviews the American Urological Association first-line treatments for IC/BPS and considers the benefits of treating this condition as a chronic disease.

Immunoglobulin G4–related Retroperitoneal Fibrosis of the Pelvis
Anthony Dyer, MD, Peter M. Sadow, MD, PhD, Erika Bracamonte, MD, Matthew Gretzer, MD
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare disease characterized by the replacement of normal tissue with fibrosis and/or inflammation. In this case, a 68-year-old man presents with RPF in the pelvis, a rare location for this disease.
Solitary Candida albicans Infection Causing Fournier Gangrene and Review of Fungal Etiologies
Tiffany A. Perkins, MD, Jared M. Bieniek, MD, Joel M. Sumfest, MD
The authors describe a case of an elderly man with a history of diabetes who presented with a necrotizing scrotal and perineal soft tissue infection.
