Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion criteria: * \> 18 years old * PCa, treated with curative intent (radical prostatectomy, primary radiotherapy, or a combination of both) and oligorecurrent/oligopersistent metastasis (1 - 5 lesions) on imaging (PSMA-PET, CT, MRI). * Recurrence or progression of metastases on imaging (PSMA-PET, CT, MRI) that cannot be treated with SBRT, either due to a history of previous high-dose radiotherapy with dose constraints, because SBRT is technically unfeasible or unsafe for the specific lesions, or because the patient refuses to undergo SBRT. * PSMA-positive lesion * Lesions up to 4 cm that are suitable and safe for TA with an anticipated high rate of technical success * 'Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group' (ECOG) performance status of 2 or less. * Patients can be androgen sensitive (mHSPC) or castration resistant (mCRPC). * All patients will be discussed at the Multidisciplinary Tumor Board. Exclusion criteria: * \<18y * Severe comorbidity which limits the further life expectancy of the patient to \< 2 years (opinion of the physician) and no malignancies \< 2 years ago except for non-melanoma skin cancer and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. * No local radical treatment of the primary tumor was performed. * Lack of compliance * Absence of consent of the patient * Location: intracranial
