Background • American Cancer Society estimate: ~190,000 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in 2009. • Traditional therapies include surgery, radiotherapy, or hormone therapy. • Prostate cancer recurrence after definitive therapy can be as high as 30%. • Local recurrences are associated with significant risk of disease progression.
Background • Local Ablative therapies offer the potential for treatment especially for patients who have been through surgery and radiation therapy with recurrence of cancer and limited treatment options.
Why MRI: Lesion Conspicuity • Better Lesion Conspicuity • Multiplanar imaging • Better Lesion Visualization Translates into More Precise Ablation and Better Treatment Outcomes
Ablates = Laser Heat Visualase Laser Ablation System 980nm Laser Fiber Heats the tissue cooking the tumor Ablates = Freezing Galil Cryoablation System Uses Argon gas through a small needle Creates an iceball around the tumor Two MRI Compatible Systems Used

Conclusions MR guided laser ablation and cryoablation of prostate bed recurrences are possible and demonstrate no adverse events in the initial patients. MR guided interventions offer the potential for more precise guidance, monitoring, and ablation in patients with prostate cancer recurrences.
