First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is collecting information from 200 men who have had or will have focal therapy for prostate cancer. Focal therapy uses targeted methods like freezing (cryotherapy) or ultrasound (HIFU) to treat only the cancerous part of the prostate. The goal is to understand how these treatments affect cancer grade, PSA levels, and MRI results over time.
