Cryoablation Therapy or Radiotherapy Therapy for Stage III Prostate Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This trial is going to evaluate tumor control and quality of life in patients with prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy or cryoablation.

Detailed Description
-----------------
OBJECTIVES: To determine the tumor control in patients with prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy or cryoablation To determine the quality of life of these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to Gleason score (≥ 8 vs 7 vs ≤ 6), persistent prostatic specific antigen (PSA) at allocation (> 0.5 ng/mL vs ≤ 0.5 ng/mL), participating center. Patient are allocated to two treatment arms.

Official Title
-----------------
