Brief Summary

to compare the efficacy of HIFU treatment with standard treatment in two situations:

  1. 1.as first-line cancer treatment, HIFU is compared to radical prostatectomy.
  2. 2.for patients with recurrence after external beam radiotherapy, HIFU treatment is compared to radical prostatectomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Recurrence-free survival

    The main objective for patients is to compare recurrence-free survival (i.e., the rate of salvage therapy by external beam radiotherapy and/or hormone therapy) in patients treated by HIFU and those treated by radical prostatectomy. The implementation of salvage therapy will be decided according to several non-exclusive criteria (positivity of margins (for patients with radical prostatectomy), PSA at 3 months, biologic recurrence (increase in PSA \> 0.2 ng/ml after radical surgery, \> Nadir +2 after HIFU), control biopsies positive, the appearance of metastases

    30 months

Secondary Outcomes (61)

  • Immediate or late complications

    6 weeks after treatment

  • Immediate or late complications

    Day 0, Inclusion

  • immediate or late complications

  • +56 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

HIFU

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients Treated with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)

Procedure: High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Treatment

Prostatectomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients Treated by Radical Prostatectomy

Procedure: Radical Prostatectomy

Interventions

The surgical approach can be open or laparoscopic. The procedure begins with lymph node dissection for the intermediate risk groups (PSA \> 10 ng/mL and/or presence of grade 4 Gleason score). Total prostatectomy includes removal of the seminal vesicles. It can preserve 1 or 2 neurovascular bundles, depending on the cancer stage and/or the choice expressed by the patient. The vesicourethral suture is either a running or interrupted suture, and there is drainage by a bladder catheter for at least 5 days.

Prostatectomy

The treatment with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) evaluated in this study will be delivered by 2 types of medical devices currently available on the market, Ablatherm® and Focal One®. They are both computer-controlled and provided with an endo-rectal probe with integrated ultrasound, enabling planning and the monitoring of treatment of localized prostate cancer in realtime.
