Study Details

Brief summary:

Registration of Prostate Cancer patients undergoing Prostate Cryotherapy guided by Mutiparametric-MRI (MP-MRI) highlighting biopsy confirmed regions. The primary outcome measure is 5 year oncological control. Secondary aim is lack of progression beyond the prostate gland. The aim of intervention is to eradicate prostate cancer disease in the treated area while imposing no or minimal deleterious effects in quality of life.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Interventions

FUSE IMAGE MRI GUIDED PROSTATE CRYOTHERAPY

Biopsy proven Prostate Cancer is delimited and defined by MP-MRI. The MRI study is fused with transrectal ultrasound in realtime. The cryogenic "cryoprobes/devices" are employed to freeze and all "circuled or noted" cancer lesions. Two freeze 8 min/ thaw 10 min clycles are performed. Thermocouples are used to monitor treatment areas and safety margins

Primary outcome measure

  • Oncological Control [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]
