Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy Sparing the Urethra, Pudendal Artery and Rectum for the Treatment of Low and Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) using adaptive radiation techniques for sparing the urethra, pudendal artery, and rectum (SUPR) works in treating patients with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. SABR 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. This study will use a new method of radiation planning created to protect the normal, healthy tissues including the bladder, urethra, rectum, and blood vessels in men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
