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
- No signs of cancer spread beyond the prostate

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new, less invasive treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH) that uses ultrasound and heat to shrink the part of the prostate blocking urine flow. It aims to improve urinary symptoms and avoid the need for more invasive surgery.
This trial tests a laser treatment that targets only the cancerous part of the prostate. It may be an option for men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer who do not want their entire prostate removed.
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 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.
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.
