New database to track freezing therapy for prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT07184957
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is creating a database to track what happens to men with localized prostate cancer who choose cryotherapy (freezing the tumor). Researchers will record side effects and how long it takes for PSA levels to rise again. Up to 1,000 men will be followed over time to gather real-world data on this treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cryotherapy (freezing treatment)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this database could help doctors better understand who benefits most from cryotherapy for prostate cancer and improve treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational database, not a controlled trial. It cannot prove cryotherapy is better than other treatments, and results may take years to emerge.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Evidence of focal prostate cancer confined to the prostate based on MRI imaging and prostate biopsy * Patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (no evidence for or concern for metastatic spread of cancer outside of the prostate) will be counseled regarding treatment options. Those selecting focal Cryo prostate ablation will then be offered inclusion into this data collection. Exclusion Criteria: * Men that are not diagnosed with prostate cancer. * Men that are diagnosed with clinically localized prostate cancer, but select other treatment options as their desired treatment.
