Despite dramatic and recently accelerated advances in the reduction of morbidity linked to radical prostatectomies, significant short- and long-term morbidity is still associated with this surgical procedure. Currently both surgical and nonsurgical minimally invasive options are available for men with clinically localized prostate cancer, including laparoscopic and robotic radical prostatectomy, brachytherapy, and cryosurgical ablation of the prostate, with others, such as high intensity focused ultrasound, under investigation. In continued efforts to improve patient outcomes and to tailor treatment options to individual patient circumstances, nomograms have been developed and are increasingly being used by physicians and patients, alike, to guide therapeutic choices at each stage of disease. This tool predicts the possibility of successful treatment for the patient based on factors such as prostate-specific antigen levels, clinical stage of disease, and biopsy results. The current and future development, design, availability, and use of nomograms is described along with the historic and newer minimally invasive treatment options for prostate cancer.
