Study Description

Brief Summary: This is a single-centre prospective, non-randomized trial to investigate the efficacy of cryotherapy in patients with localized prostate cancer.The aim of study is to investigate the safety profile of cryotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer and to evaluate the oncological control of prostate cancer by means of cryotherapy focal treatment.

Detailed Description: Conventional treatment options for localized prostate cancer include prostatectomy, radiotherapy and active surveillance. However, prostatectomy and radiotherapy carry certain degree of morbidity, including the risks of urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and injury to the structures in the proximity. Active surveillance carries the risk of disease progression and psychological distress to the patients. Focal therapy employs the concept of only destroying the significant lesion, resulting in disease cure and improved functional outcome.
