Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Histologically-confirmed locally recurrent prostate cancer - biopsy performed \< 6 months before registration;
- Histology: Adenocarcinoma, every Gleason score (2-10)
- Initial treatment (EBRT) completed \> 24 months prior to biopsy;
- Androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer should be discontinued at least 3 months prior to patient registration
- Staging performed within 12 weeks prior to registration:
- Local stage evaluated by DRE, TRUS or - if necessary - mpMRI (T1b, T1c, T2a, T2b, T2c, T3a, T3b);
- Negative lymph nodes by imaging studies (at least one of these: choline PET scan, pelvic ± abdominal CT or MRI) or by lymphadenectomy (cN0 or pN0);
- Negative bone scan (M0);
- PSA-DT \> 6 months (PSA measurements taken of the 12 months prior to registration)
- Zubrod Performance Scale 0-2 (Appendix V) International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) \< 20 (Appendix VI), the IPSS score can be evaluated in patient on alpha-blockers;
- Baseline gastrointestinal (GI) or genitourinary (GU) toxicity grade 0-1 as defined in Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.

- Interference of pubic arch ruled out
- If local stage T3b: it must be possible to cover by the brachytherapy dose cancer infiltration
- Prostate lenght (from apex plane to base plane) ≤ 45mm (technical criterion for 915 MHz frequency antennas)
- The patient is suitable for spinal or general anesthesia
- Age \> 18 y.
- Life expectancy \> 5 years
- absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
- The patient must sign a study-specific informed consent form before study registration

- Presence of distant metastases (M1)
- Any of the following prior therapies:
- TURP within 6 months prior to registration
- Prostatic salvage cryosurgery performed at least 6 months before registration
- HIFU performed at least 6 months before registration
- Androgen deprivation therapy within 3 months prior to registration
- Baseline gastrointestinal (GI) or genitourinary (GU) toxicity grade ≥ 2 as defined in Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.
