MR/US has brought precision a in diagnosis and opportunity to decrease harm associated to whole gland radical interventions. The interest to develop new ablative therapies has risen as a resource to prevent overtreatment. We have developed a transperineal fusion approach that allows for precise diagnosis and treatment in the office setting under local anesthesia. METHODS: NCT02381990 represents a meticulous prospective registry that aims to characterize outcomes after MR/US Fusion Cryoablation in the office setting. Between 2014 and 2020, 369 patients positive for prostate cancer after MR/US Transperineal Fusion Biopsy (TPFBx) underwent targeted MR/US Transperineal Fusion Cryoablation (TPFTx) across 4 institutions. The video shows a representative case. We present short term outcomes for these patients. RESULTS: The median time from biopsy to treatment for the 369 patient cohort was 6 weeks. All 738 procedures were completed with median times (TPFBx and TPFTx, 24’ and 55’, respectively) and median pain scores (1-10 scale) were 3(TPFBx) and 2(TPFTx). 160 of these patients had TPFTx within during 2020. Of the reminder 209, 173 completed 1-year TPFBx and 57 (32%) were positive. The Gleason groups distribution for those with a 1-year positive biopsy were more favorable than the initial diagnostic TPFBx CONCLUSIONS: MRI/US Fusion prostate biopsies and cryoablation allow targeting prostate cancer lesions in a safe, accurate, and reproducible manner. This approach prevents overtreatment and could be considered an alternative to active surveillance as 68% of patients have no evidence of disease a year after treatment.
