Focal Laser Ablation of Prostate Cancer
Sponsor: Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of Magnetic-Resonance(MR)-ultrasound image fusion-guided transrectal-based focal laser ablation (FLA) of prostate cancer using the Orion System, an investigational laser-based interstitial irradiation/thermal soft-tissue ablation system. Safety and feasibility will be determined by analyzing the number, type, and severity of adverse events.

Conditions
Interventions
Focal Laser Ablation
Orion system to deploy and monitor thermal energy in cancerous regions of the prostate, identified by MRI and confirmed by targeted biopsy. MRI guidance will be achieved by MRI/ultrasound fusion, overlaying stored MRI images upon real-time ultrasound images. Interstitial laser treatments would be achieved by inserting the fiber into the cancerous regions guided by the Artemis image-fusion device. Applications of laser energy up to 15 watts of power will be used to treat the target region.
