Exclusion Criteria

1. Lymph node >10mm short axis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abdomen and pelvis
2. Previous transurethral resection of prostate gland with evidence of a significant defect (>10mm in width) on transrectal ultrasound scan

9. Failed androgen deprivation therapy as second line therapy for radiation recurrent prostate cancer
10. Prior cryotherapy to the prostate
11. Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic conditions (e.g. severe hepatic impairment, interstitial lung disease [bilateral, diffuse, parenchymal lung disease]) or current unstable or uncompensated respiratory or cardiac conditions which make it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study or which could jeopardise compliance with the protocol
