Key Clinical Message We demonstrate feasibility and safety of Electrochemotherapy for treatment of a prostate cancer ( PC a) with infiltration of the urethral sphincter. The patient remained continent and potent, toxicity was low, and 6 months of follow‐up showed no cancer activity. We conclude that Electrochemotherapy should be further evaluated as treatment strategy for locally advanced PC a.
