      OR

    • PSA levels no greater than 10 ng/mL and Gleason scores at least 7
    • Patients requiring volume reduction of prostate prior to radiotherapy continue to be treated at least 3 months on neoadjuvant hormonal therapy prior to radiation


  • No evidence of distant metastases


  • No regional lymph node involvement

Expected Enrollment

50

A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outline

Patients receive high-dose three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy 4-5 days per week for at least 9 weeks.

Patients are evaluated at least weekly during radiotherapy and at 2 and 4 months after treatment completion. Thereafter, patients are followed every 6 months for a total of 3 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
