Three RCTs showed no significant difference between Active Surveillance (AS) and radical treatments for low-risk cases, with limited survival benefits. FT can reduce over-treatment and QoL side-effects. Image fusion techniques ensure accuracy of FT, as shown by a study on large patient group treated with primary MRI/US fusion guided cryotherapy (MRFC). METHODS: Our MRFC protocol was approved by the Ethical Committee registered at NCT02381990 - clinicaltrials.gov. It is a registry focused on treatment outcomes for cancer lesions using MRFC, with data recorded from PCa patients who underwent primary MRFC. We assessed FFP and survival metrics (Overall and Cancer-specific survival) at 5-years, defining FFP as conversion to whole gland treatment, hormonal suppression initiation, or metastasis development. Uni- and multivariate Cox Proportional-Hazards Model were used to identify independent predictive factors. The procedures were done in an office-setting with local anesthesia. RESULTS: The analysis involved 1,083 patients with a mean age of 70 years and a mean PSA level of 7.4 ng/ml. Lesions treated had PI-RADS scores of 1-2, 3, 4 and 5, representing 6%, 35%, 35% and 24% respectively. The ISUP breakdown at biopsy was ISUP 1 in 46% of patients, ISUP 2 in 38% and ISUP 3 in 16%. The PSA density median was 0.13 0.09,0.2. At the five-year mark, FFP, OS, and CCS rates were 86%, 91% and 100%. A total of 43 men died from other causes and 252 patients were still at risk. The Figure 1 shows the differences between ISUP groups. The results of the multivariate analysis indicate that the PSA density is an independent predictive factor of FFP, with an HR of 1.02 and a p-value of 0.008. CONCLUSIONS: The office's MRFC has revealed a safe oncological control at 3, 5, and 7 years, where more than 250 high-risk patients after the 5-year period. The primary risk differentiator determined was PSAD. Noteworthy differences in outcomes have not been observed between tumors treated with ISUP 1 and 2.
