MRI/Ultrasound Fusion Guided Prostate Cryotherapy
Office Based MRI/Ultrasound Guided Prostate Cryotherapy: Outcomes Registry
About This Trial
- This study is testing a treatment that uses freezing temperatures to destroy prostate cancer, using detailed scans to precisely target only the diseased areas.
- The goal is to clear the cancer while minimizing side effects and protecting your daily quality of life.
- It is open to men aged 55 and older who have early- or intermediate-stage cancer that has not spread outside the prostate gland.
- Before joining, you should know that you cannot have had prior prostate surgery, must be in good overall health, and will have your health monitored for five years to see how well the treatment worked.
More Information
- 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.
