The lumens are connected or disposed adjacent one another along their longitudinal exterior walls. An energy source is insertable into one or more of the cooling lumens to carry out a heating protocol to treat the diseased tissue while screening and/or cooling normal tissue. A transrectal ultrasound positioning and temperature sensing device can control the energy source for effective treatment.
