First seen May 24, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026
Summary
This study followed 354 men with prostate cancer who chose to freeze half of their prostate gland (hemi-gland cryoablation) to destroy tumors. Researchers tracked how well the treatment controlled cancer and its impact on urinary function. The goal was to see if using advanced MRI and targeted biopsies before treatment leads to better outcomes.
