Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - Transperineal template guided mapping biopsy, multiparametric MRI, Hemiablative Focal Brachytherapy

Experimental: Prostate biopsy,Hemiablative focal Brachytherapy - This is a non-randomized, Phase II study examining the efficacy in terms of postimplant dosimetry (primary endpoint) as well as the secondary endpoints of QOL changes, toxicity, local control with post-treatment biopsy outcomes and comparison with historical whole-gland cohorts in men with early stage low volume prostate cancer treated with hemiablative focal brachytherapy


Treatment: Other: Transperineal template guided mapping biopsy, multiparametric MRI, Hemiablative Focal Brachytherapy
A re-staging transperineal template guided mapping prostate biopsy as currently performed at participating institutions. Hemiablative Focal brachytherapy will be performed . The affected half of the prostate will be targeted with the prescription dose and receive 145 Gy of Iodine-125 (I-125). A postimplant dosimetry will be performed 30 days after procedure. The quality-of-life assessment will focus on erectile function, urinary function, bowel function, and general health related quality of life. The patients will complete this assessment at baseline and then 4 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 20 months, 24 months, 32 months and 36 months after treatment. A second transperineal biopsy will be performed 36 months after the implant.
