PHASE1

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to establish the safety of MRI targeted laser thermal treatment for men with biopsy confirmed early stage low grade single sector prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

This is a single center, single arm, open-label Phase I study to establish the safety of interstitial laser thermal therapy (ILTT) in patients with a single site of low grade (Gleason \<7) prostate ca...
