Inclusion Criteria:

Histologic diagnosis of prostate cancer identifying Gleason score of 3+4 on one half of the prostate gland in no more than 2 sextants of the prostate gland and not present in more than 50% of any one core taken systematically. The involvement criterion does not apply to cores taken from MRI suspicious volumes.
Patients with concomitant Gleason score 3+3 prostate cancer in less than 50% of any core at any site will be considered eligible.
Prostate cancer stage up to cT2a - N0/Nx - M0/Mx.
Prostate volume ≥25 mL and ≤70 mL.
Serum PSA ≤10 ng/mL.

Exclusion Criteria:

Unwillingness to accept the treatment;

Subjects in custody and or residing in a nursing home or rehabilitation facility;
Biopsy proven locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.
Any condition or history of illness or surgery that in the opinion of the investigator might affect the conduct and results of the study or pose additional risks to the subject (e.g., cardiac or respiratory disease precluding general anesthesia; anticoagulant treatment which cannot be temporarily withdrawn for the procedure).
Medical conditions that preclude the use of general anesthesia;

Anticoagulant drugs (e.g., warfarin) that could not be withdrawn during the 10 days prior to the VTP procedure or antiplatelet drugs (e.g. aspirin) that could not be withdrawn during the 10 days prior to the VTP procedure and 3 days after VTP;
Renal and hepatic disorders with values of >1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or blood disorders (upon clinician judgment);
