Focal MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound Treatment of Localized Low-Risk Prostate Cancer: Feasibility Study
Objective of this feasibility trial is to assess safety and initial effectiveness of
ExAblate MRgFUS in the treatment of low risk, localized (organ confined) prostate cancer
tumors.
ExAblate treatment will be implemented as a focal tumor-selective therapy, directed at
pre-defined volume(s)/sector(s) in the prostate, identified as cancerous (by mapping biopsy
and multi-parametric MRI), rather than a whole gland or hemi-ablation treatment.
Safety: evaluate incidence and severity of adverse events associated with ExAblate's MRgFUS
focal treatment of low risk organ confined prostate cancer. The risk of ExAblate
treatment-related incontinence and impotence will also be assessed in this study.
Effectiveness: determine the tumor control effect of ExAblate's MRgFUS focal treatment of
low risk organ-confined prostate cancer (confirmed by TRUS-guided mapping biopsy results).

Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Safety and Initial Effectiveness
Safety: evaluate incidence and severity of adverse events associated with ExAblate's MRgFUS focal treatment of low risk organ confined prostate cancer. The risk of ExAblate treatment-related incontinence and impotence will also be assessed in this study. Effectiveness: determine the tumor control effect of ExAblate's MRgFUS focal treatment of low risk organ-confined prostate cancer (confirmed by TRUS-guided transperineal mapping biopsy results).
