Conditions

Prostate Cancer

Brief summary

The goal of this trial is to assess the impact of focal HIFU therapy on quality of life in patients with favourable intermediate-risk localised prostate cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the prostate cancer-related quality of life in patients with favourable intermediate-risk localised cancer treated by total prostatectomy or focal HIFU ? Researchers will compare patients with favourable intermediate-risk localised cancer treated by total prostatectomy to patients with favourable intermediate-risk localised cancer treated by focal HIFU to see their quality of life. Participants will answer EPIC-CP questionnaire 6 months, 12 months and 24 months after treatment

Interventions

PROCEDURETotal prostatectomy

Total prostatectomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat prostate cancer.

PROCEDUREFocal HIFU

Focal HIFU treatment is an innovative technique that consists of destroying prostate tumour cells using high-intensity ultrasound focused exclusively on the affected area of the gland.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of Life in relation to prostate cancerMonth 6, month 12 and month 24Quality of life in relation to prostate cancer will be assessed by the total score (ranging from 0 to 60) of the EPIC-CP (Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice) questionnaire. Higher score means a worse outcome.
