Summary

One of the usual approaches to treating intermediate-risk prostate cancer is a type of radiation therapy called SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy). SBRT delivers higher than standard doses of radiation over a lower number of treatment sessions. However, there is a 20% chance that intermediate-risk prostate cancer will come back after this treatment. The purpose of this study is to find out whether giving an even higher dose (a "boost" dose) of radiation directly to the main tumor and the standard dose of radiation to the rest of the prostate may cure the cancer or prevent it from coming back for a longer period of time while causing few side effects.

RADIATION

Radiation Therapy

Patients enrolled in this study will undergo ultra-hypofractionated radiation utilizing MR guided, daily online adaptive planning. Patients will receive a standard dose of 8 Gy/fraction for five fractions for a total dose of 40 Gy to the prostate with a simultaneously-delivered boost of 9 Gy for five fractions (clinically non-standard dose of 45 Gy total) to a single dominant lesion with a maximum dimension of at least 0.5 cm, as determined on the pretreatment diagnostic T2 MRI imaging. In the setting of two similarly-sized "dominant" lesions, both will be boosted.
