65 patients will receive the immediate treatment with focal HIFU in order to destroy the cancer without causing side effects. HIFU treatment will be conducted with the Focal One® device. The treatment area will be defined using MRI data and 3D biopsies. A safety distance of at least 9 mm will be defined around the tumor. An intraoperative contrast echocardiographic control will be performed to evaluate the necrotic area. If necessary, additional HIFU lesions will be performed during the same session. In case of residual tumor demonstrated during control biopsies, additional treatment of this tumor with focal HIFU may be proposed.

Patients randomized in this arm will also have PSA dosage, MRI exam, questionnaires and prostatic biopsies during their follow up.

65 patients will be randomized to active surveillance and will have exactly the same follow-up as treated patients excepting the HIFU treatment.

Active surveillance is a therapeutic option that shifts the eventual moment of curative treatment while remaining within a window of curability of the disease.

Patients randomized in this arm will also have PSA dosage, MRI exam, questionnaires and prostatic biopsies during their follow up.

The percentage of malignant prostate tumors detected very early is constantly increasing and the number of well differentiated tumors, with small volume and low risk of progression increases. When a tumor of this type is identified, radical prostatectomy remains the reference treatment, but this treatment is not without side effects. Active surveillance is a strategy which aims at detecting an early development of the cancerous disease in order to propose curative treatment in a timely manner and thus improve specific survival. Patients are therefore re-evaluated each year by rectal examination, PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) assay. Active surveillance remains difficult to manage psychologically for both the patient and the practitioner, because of the lack of treatment on the one hand and a rate of non-curable cancers close to 50% when signs of progression trigger a radical treatment.

The aim of the focal treatment HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is to destroy the cancer without causing side effects in contrast to radical treatments. It is in this sense that it is positioned both as an alternative to radical surgery and as an alternative to active surveillance.

Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized Study, Evaluating the Efficacy and Tolerability of Focused HIFU Therapy Compared to Active Surveillance in Patients With Significant Low Risk Prostate Cancer

The primary endpoint is the comparison between the 2 groups of the proportion of patient converting to a radical treatment at 48 months of follow-up. Conversion to a radical treatment is define as a medical decision based on the following criteria:

* An increase in Gleason score to a score 7 (3 + 4) with bilateral involvement (Gleason 6 or 7).
* An increase in the Gleason score to a score 7 (3 + 4) with tumor whose location is not compatible with a focal treatment (impossibility to apply safety margins of 9mm).
* An increase in Gleason score to a score of 7 (4 + 3) or higher.
* Risk of lymph node invasion\> 5% (calculated with the MSKCC nomogram)
* An extension of the tumor beyond the prostatic capsule (MRI and / or biopsies).
* Appearance of pelvic ganglion metastases.

The objective is to compare between the 2 groups the proportion of patients needing additional treatment (focal or radical) at 24 months. This includes patients who wish or require radical treatment (prostatectomy, radiotherapy), total focal treatment, focal treatment for patients in the active surveillance group or additional treatment for patients in the treatment group.

The aim of the focal treatment HIFU is to destroy the cancer without causing side effects in contrast to radical treatments. Radical treatments (surgery or radiation therapy) are the standard therapies for patient with intermediate risk localized prostate cancer and good life expectancy (prostatectomy if life expectancy10 years) By destroying only the part of the gland that harbors cancer, it may indeed be possible to provide efficient cure of the disease while minimizing treatment-induced morbidity (incontinence and loss of potency). Around 20% of patients presented with a unilateral tumor: this patients are currently treated radically. No study published papers reported outcomes of a large population (\>100) with intermediate risk cancers treated with Focal-HIFU (conducted with the Focal One® device). Focal therapy must be only offer within clinical trial setting (EAU (European Association of Urology) Guidelines ). The aim of this cohort will be to determine the success rate of Focal-HIFU in this intermediate risk population. The result the study will be used for calculation the arms of a future random study

Efficacy Evaluation of Focused HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Therapy in Patients With Localized Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer

Phase 2, Multicenter, Prospective Cohort Study, Estimating the Efficacy of Focused HIFU Therapy in Patients With Localized Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer

The main objective is the estimation of FOCAL HIFU treatment efficacy defined as the percentage of positive biopsies in the treated lobe at 12 months after inclusion.

Evolution of the Gleason score (appearance of Gleason ≥7) will be measured and will be used to evaluate the carcinologic evolution at 12 month.

The Gleason score is a prognosis factor for prostate cancer. It is based prostate cancer cells architecture from biopsies. The more the architectures of prostate cancer cell is destroyed, the worse is the prognosis. The score grades from 3 to 5, 5 being the more destroyed, the score 1 and 2 being normal cells. When there is more than one tumor cells population in the prostate, the score is composed of the sum of the most 2 frequents grade. For example a Gleason 7 tumor could be 3+4 or 4+3, the 4+3 being more aggressive.

comparison of the proposition of serious adverse effect at 48 months

quality of life will be assessed using the QLQC30 (Quality of Life questionnaire) questionnaire.

It is a specific questionnaire to determine the quality of life a patient with cancer. It is composed of 30 questions with 4 potential answers going from: not at all, a little, enough or a lot, within 28 questions and with a visual scale going from 1 to 7 (7 being excellent and 1 being very bad) for the last 2 questions. The raw score is established by adding the score of each question and a linear transformation range it from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.

urinary function will be assessed using the EPIC-26 (The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite) questionnaire.

The EPIC-26 is a self-reported scale health-related quality of life questionnaire for prostate cancer patients . It is composed of 26 items in 4 different domains: urinary incontinence, urinary irritation/obstruction, bowel, sexual, and vitality/hormonal.

Response options for each EPIC item form a Likert scale, and multi-item scale scores are transformed linearly to a 0-100 scale. Each items as a standardized value from 0 to 100. Then the average of the standardized value is determined in each domain to crate the summary score. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.

urinary function will be assessed using the IPSS (International Prostate Score Symptom) questionnaire.

The IPSS questionnaire is based on the answers to seven questions concerning urinary symptoms and one question concerning quality of life. Each question concerning urinary symptoms allows the patient to choose one out of six answers indicating increasing severity of the particular symptom. The answers are assigned points from 0 to 5. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35. The score is then categorized as follow: Mild (symptoms score less than or equal to 7), Moderate (symptom score range 8-19), Severe (symptom score range 20-35). The higher the score, the worse the symptoms.

Sexual function will be assessed using the IIEF-5 (The International Index of Erectile Function) questionnaire.

The IIEF-5 Questionnaire is composed of 5 items with 5 possible answers rating from 1 to 5 (very low, low, moderate, high, very high).

The score is the sum of the ordinal responses to the 56 items. It is then categorized as follow: 22-25: No erectile dysfunction, 17-21: Mild erectile dysfunction, 12-16: Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction, 8-11: Moderate erectile dysfunction, 5-7: Severe erectile dysfunction. The higher the score, the better the sexual function.

The main objective is the estimation of FOCAL HIFU treatment efficacy defined as the percentage of positive biopsies in the treated lobe at 48 months after inclusion.

The consequences of HIFU treatment over immune anti-tumoral induction will be estimated by the description of Programmed death-ligand 1/ligand 2 (PDL1/L2) overexpression on immune cells and overexpression of Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) on T lymphocytes (T-cells).

The consequences of HIFU treatment over Messenger RNA (mRNA) will be estimated by measure of CTC number reduction.

The consequences of HIFU treatment over PCA3 will be estimated by measure of ncRNA PCA3 level reduction.
