Study Objectives are to evaluate the proportion of patients with low-intermediate risk prostate cancer undergoing focal laser ablation (MRgFLA) prostate treatment who will be free of clinically significant Prostate Cancer (PCa), when using a \> 5mm margins around the MR visible tumor in defining the ablation contour. The rationale of the study is to show that MRgFLA is a safe procedure that can significantly postpone or eliminate the need for patients with Low-Intermediate Risk prostate cancer to undergo a definitive treatment (i.e., Radical Prostatectomy or Radiation therapy) for their disease. Study population: patients with Low-Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer who are willing to take part in the study and meet study eligibility criteria. Primary Study Objective is to show that MRgFLA can significantly reduce the need for definitive treatment (e.g., Radical Prostatectomy, or Radiation therapy) and is a safe procedure for patients with Low-Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer defined in the current protocol as 1) Gleason score 6 and 7 (=3+4 or 4+3; No Grade 5 pattern), and 2) T1-T2, N0, M0.
