Focal Ablation With Focal Cryotherapy or HIFU for the Treatment of Men With Localized Prostate Cancer

Summary

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of focal ablation with either focal cryotherapy or high intensity frequency ultrasound for the treatment of men with localized prostate cancer. Focal cryotherapy kills tumor cells by freezing them. High intensity frequency ultrasound uses highly focused ultrasound waves to produce heat and destroy tumor cells.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients ≥ 18 years of age at time of consent
* Life expectancy ≥ 5 years
* Ability and stated willingness to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol procedures/requirements for the duration of the study

Exclusion Criteria:

* Nodal or distant metastases
* Prior treatment for prostate cancer
* Anticipated treatment with any cancer intervention, including radiation, hormonal therapy or surgery ≤ 6 months prior to focal therapy in this study
* Known contraindications to general anesthesia
* Uncorrectable coagulopathy
* Significant active cardiac disease within the previous 6 months including: New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 4 congestive heart failure (CHF), unstable angina, or myocardial infarction
