Frozen out: new MRI-Guided technique targets returning prostate tumors

NCT ID NCT01727284

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests whether MR-guided cryoablation — a technique that freezes tumors — can safely and effectively treat prostate cancer that has come back after initial treatment. About 107 participants with small, biopsy-confirmed tumors in the prostate bed will be followed for up to 3 years to see if the tumor is controlled. The approach is for people who cannot have surgery or whose prior radiation has failed.
