Feasibility and Safety of Transurethral HIFU in Various Prostate Diseases; Particularly Prostate Cancer
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MRI guided transurethral HIFU ablation of prostatic tissue for Localised Prostate Cancer and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 87 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study assesses feasibility and safety, the primary outcomes, of MRI guided transurethral high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for prostate diseases (PD). We will enrol 10 patients to each group with criteria as follows: localised prostate cancer (PC); locally advanced PC; locally recurrent PC after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT); benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Secondary outcomes are both oncologic and functional outcomes and imaging based follow up after HIFU therapy will be also assessed.

Timeline
Interventions
The technology is developed to ablate targeted benign and malignant prostate tissue through transurethrally inserted probe that transmit ultrasound energy under MRI guidance and control. The therapeutic endpoint of this method is thermal coagulation of prostate tissue.
