Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age \> 18
* Histologically confirmed prostate cancer
* Gleason Score of index lesion ≤ 6 (3+3)
* Tumor stage: cT1-2a cN0 cM0
* Unilateral affection; index lesion ≤ 0.5ml with or without clinically non-significant lesion contralateral. No more than 25% of the punch should be affected. Therefore a 3D-TPM-biopsy is mandatory before treatment.
* PSA ≤ 10/ng/ml
* Prostate volume \< 60 m\^3
* No distant metastasis
* Life expectancy \> 10 years
* Informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

* Tumor stage ≥ T2b
* Known metastasis: N+ and/or M1
* General anesthesia or peridural anesthesia is not possible
* Coagulation disorder
Minimum Eligible Age
