MR Fusion Cryoablation (MRFC) can minimize over-treatment and improve quality of life by reducing side effects. Image fusion techniques with real-time ablation monitoring enhance precision in Ablative therapies (AT). We present results from a study of men who underwent MRFC and identify factors to consider when choosing this option to manage prostate cancer. METHODS: Our Ethical Committee approved the MRFC protocol, which started 10 years ago and registered as NCT02381990 on clinicaltrials.gov. The registry focuses on treatment outcomes for PCa lesions using AT. We examined a consecutive cohort of men who received primary MRFC performed in the office using local anesthesia by a Urologist. Our evaluation included assessing Freedom from Progression (FFP) and survival metrics (Overall and Cancer-specific survival). Progression (P), a treated natural history event, was defined as conversion to WGM-surgery, radiation, or complete prostate ablation- hormonal suppression initiation, or metastasis development. We utilized Uni- and multivariate Cox Proportional-Hazards Model and Competing-Risk analysis to identify independent predictive factors. Additionally, a cross-validated recursive partitioning tree identified predictive levels based on relevant preoperative factors against the primary outcome: FFP. RESULTS: In MRFC, 1,168 completed the procedure, which took a median of 53mins (IQR: 47-60). A figure 1 shows preop characteristics & analyses of P versus death by other causes (DOC); from year 1-9, individuals at risk is shown. The Cross validated RCT showed the prediction of progression based on significant factors: PSAD; MRI prostate volume(preMRIPV). After five years, 87% of individuals were free from progression, and 8% DOC. CONCLUSIONS: Office-based MRFC is showing a noteworthy impact on the natural progression of prostate cancer. However, it is essential to verify these results by conducting a comprehensive assessment of randomized controlled trials.
