Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Men ≥ 45 years of age on the day of enrollment with a life expectancy ≥10 years.
- Patients meeting prostate cancer risk categorization definitions as follows:
- Low-Risk:
- Prostate specific antigen (PSA) 4 \<10 ng/mL
- Gleason score Grade Group 1 or Gleason score ≤ 6
- Clinical stage cT1c-T2a
- Favorable Intermediate-Risk:
- PSA 10-20 ng/mL
- Gleason score 3+4 (Grade Group 2)
- Clinical stage T2b-T2c
- Less than 50% of positive biopsy cores
- Only one intermediate-risk factor present
- Unfavorable Intermediate-Risk:
- PSA 10-20 ng/mL
- Gleason score 4+3 (Grade Group 3)
- +8 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with prostates previously treated with surgery (including minimally invasive), ablation, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, orchiectomy, brachytherapy, cryotherapy, or photodynamic therapy.
- Any prior radiation therapy to the pelvis
- Any evidence of metastatic disease or nodal disease outside of the prostate.
- Presence of implants/stents in the urethra
- MRI or anesthesia contraindication, including severe claustrophobia
- Bladder, genital, or other concomitant cancer within the past 5 years, except basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
- Chronic or acute prostatitis, neurogenic bladder, active urinary tract infection, sphincter abnormalities, or any other symptom that impacts micturition.
- Men with renal impairment with a GFR of \<35ml/min (unable to tolerate Gadolinium dynamic contrast enhanced MRI).
- Any other condition, illness, or surgery, that in the opinion of the Investigator might confound the results of the study or pose additional risks to the patient.
- Subjects currently participating in other investigational studies unless prior approved by the Sponsor.
