MRI-guided freezing treatment for localized prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies a treatment where doctors use MRI pictures to guide freezing of a prostate tumor. It may help men with smaller, well-placed prostate cancers who cannot or do not want surgery or radiation right now.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your prostate cancer has been confirmed by biopsy as Gleason 7
- You are being referred for treatment, but surgery and/or radiation is not a good choice for you right now
- Your tumor is smaller than 2 cm at its widest point
- The tumor is not touching the rectal wall and not involving the external urethral sphincter
- You are able to safely get an MRI scan

This trial tests a newer way to treat certain low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancers using MRI guidance and an ultrasound probe placed through the urethra. It aims to destroy the tumor while using imaging to help target it more precisely.
This trial tests using MRI and ultrasound together to guide freezing (cryoablation) treatment for prostate cancer. It may help target the tumor more precisely while avoiding areas that could cause side effects.
This trial tests whether freezing only the cancer area in the prostate (focal cryotherapy) can control intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It aims to limit treatment to one tumor focus while closely checking results with targeted and follow-up testing.
This trial looks at a treatment that uses MRI and ultrasound to guide a laser to destroy prostate cancer. It may help men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer who do not have spread beyond the prostate.
This trial tests whether a precisely targeted laser procedure—guided by MRI images—can treat prostate cancer. It may help some men who have a certain type and location of tumor while aiming to avoid nearby sensitive structures.
This trial tests whether a special type of radiation therapy, guided by MRI, can treat prostate cancer with fewer side effects. The treatment is given in a highly precise way to target the cancer while sparing healthy tissue.
