Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer, PRORAD-5 Trial

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating patients with prostate cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). SBRT is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body (except the brain). The total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy helps spare normal tissue.
