Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Men aged more than 50 years old 2. Life expectancy more than 10 years upon recruitment 3. Able to understand the trial and can provide informed and written consent, dated and signed before the enrollment and before any exam required by the trial 4. Localized intermediate risk prostate cancer diagnosed on MRI-Ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy 5. Organ-confined prostate cancer on MRI 6. PSA more than 20 ng/mL 7. at least 1 MRI visible lesion present with maximal tumor dimension Lower than 15mm, with targeted biopsy showing: ISUP grade group 2 or 3 PCa Systematic biopsies showing grade group 1-3 PCa just next to the MRI lesion is allowed Systematic biopsies showing grade group 1 PCa far away from the lesion is allowed

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients not fit for general or spinal anaesthesia 2. Patients unfit for MRI exam or MR gadolinium contrast (e.g. estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) lower than 50 ml/min) 3. Patients with coagulopathy that cannot be corrected 4. Patients on anticoagulants or antiplatelets that cannot be stopped (Low dose Aspirin, e.g. 80-100mg, is acceptable and no need to stop before or during TMA treatment) 5. Patients with previous treatment of prostate cancer 6. Patients with prior pelvic radiotherapy for prostate cancer or other cancer 7. Patients with maximal length of target lesion more than 15mm 8. Patients with MRI lesion within 10mm from rectum or 10mm from sphincter on MRI 9. Patients with more than 2 areas (MRI-visible or invisible) of prostate cancer 10. Patients with Gleason score 4+4 or any Gleason pattern 5 cancer 11. Patients with systematic cores showing any Gleason 4 pattern PCa which are not adjacent to the target lesions (1 core of Gleason 3 pattern PCa on systematic cores in contralateral lobe is acceptable) 12. Patients with definite extracapsular disease on imaging (prostate capsular contact without definite extra-capsular extension is acceptable) 13. Patients with bladder pathology including bladder stone or bladder cancer 14. Patients with known urethral stricture 15. Men aged lower than 18 years old
