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.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Prostate adenocarcinoma, T3aN0M0, T3bN0M0
* Previously untreated disease or undergone endocrine therapy without reaching to castration resistant prostate cancer
* Survival ≥ 12 months
* WHO performance status 0-2
* white blood cell ≥ 3.5 ×10\*9/L
* Platelets ≥ 5×10\*9/L
* Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of malignant disease
* History of coronary artery disease
* Uncontrolled infection
* Other concurrent severe or uncontrolled medical disease that could compromise participation in the study (i.e., uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled cardiac disease, uncontrolled hypertension, congestive cardiac failure, ventricular arrhythmias, active ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction within the past six months, chronic liver or renal disease, and active upper gastrointestinal tract ulceration)
* Psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study treatment and follow-up schedule

Primary outcomes:
measure: Median PSA progression-free survival in patients responding to the study treatments
timeFrame: Within 12 months after treatment
measure: Quality of Life impact of treatments' side effects measured by change in EORTC QOL-C30 from baseline to 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment
timeFrame: 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Overall survival
timeFrame: 5 year
measure: Disease Specific Survival
timeFrame: 5 year
