prostate biopsies

- Stage = T3bN0M0

- Gleason grade = 8

- Serum PSA = 20 ng/mL

- Bone scan- or cross-sectional imaging-negative for metastatic or nodal (outside
prostate) disease

- No metastatic disease and/or nodal spread by CT scan or MRI

- Index lesion or other secondary lesions with a volume = 0.5 cc by MRI

- No prostatic calcification and cysts (on transrectal ultrasound) that would interfere
with effective delivery of therapy

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

- Able to tolerate a transrectal ultrasound

- Not allergic to latex

claustrophobia, permanent cardiac pacemaker, metallic implant, etc.)

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

- No prior radiotherapy

- No androgen suppression and/or hormone treatment within the past 12 months

- No prior significant rectal surgery preventing insertion of transrectal
high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) probe (decided on the type of surgery in
individual cases)

- No prior transurethral resection of the prostate (or equivalent procedures) within
the past 2 years

- No prior HIFU, cryosurgery, thermal, or microwave therapy to the prostate
