This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance-guided focal stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer that has not spread to other areas of the body. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT02163317.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate the correlation of histopathology findings in comparison to regions of the prostate reported to be suspicious for harboring tumor burden on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports.
II. Demonstration of the dosimetric and radiobiological advantages of focal stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) versus whole-gland radiation therapy.
III. Evaluation of clinical outcomes in focal SBRT for localized prostate cancer.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo 3 fractions of MRI-guided focal SBRT every other day for 1 week. Patients undergo additional MRI scans between the 2nd and 3rd fractionated treatments, and at 6 12, and 24 months.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 24 months.
