Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The main objective of this study is to determine whether focal-driven therapies for diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer are preferable over current clinical methods. Different focal procedures will be examined, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-target biopsy, and focal treatment as High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), cryoablation and Nano-Knife.
