Same-day prostate biopsy and heat treatment for cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial combines a biopsy (tissue sampling) with a heat-based ablation procedure in one visit to diagnose and treat early prostate cancer while also relieving severe urinary symptoms. It may help patients who need quick treatment and early discharge.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Severe urinary symptoms (difficulty urinating with specific test scores and measurements)
- PSA blood test result between 4 and 20 ng/ml
- MRI scan showing 3 or fewer small cancer spots (each less than 1.5 cm)
- No prior prostate or bladder surgeries
- No prior pelvic radiation therapy or major pelvic surgery

This trial tests a laser treatment to destroy cancer cells in the prostate for people with early-stage prostate cancer who choose not to have surgery. It aims to target only the cancer while sparing healthy tissue.
This trial tests a new device designed to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH), such as frequent or difficult urination. It may help improve urine flow and reduce discomfort without traditional surgery.
This trial tests a laser procedure done through the skin between the scrotum and anus, guided by MRI and ultrasound, for men with certain prostate cancer types. It aims to heat and treat prostate cancer while checking safety and outcomes over follow-up visits.
This trial studies a more sped-up radiation schedule for men with certain local prostate cancers, given together with hormone therapy. It aims to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and making care easier.
This study tests a laser surgery to treat an enlarged prostate that is causing urinary problems. It uses a special laser to remove blocking tissue and may help improve symptoms and urine flow.
This trial tests a very short, one-time form of radiation (SBRT) to treat prostate cancer. It aims to see whether treating the prostate in one shot is safe and effective for carefully selected patients.
