SBRT Boost for Unfavorable Prostate Cancer'

Sponsor: MemorialCare Health System

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether giving a short course of focused radiation called an SBRT "boost" is a safe and effective way to treat prostate cancer. This boost delivers a high dose of radiation to the prostate in a non-invasive way, similar to what is done with high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy but without using needles. The study looks at how well this treatment controls the cancer, what side effects it may cause, and how it affects patients' quality of life over time.

RADIATION

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) Boost

The intervention in this study is the SBRT boost, which is a short course of five high-dose stereotactic body radiotherapy treatments (5.5 Gy × 5 fractions, total 27.5 Gy) delivered with image-guided precision to the prostate. This SBRT boost is given in addition to standard external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT), which delivers 50.4 Gy to the pelvis, prostate, and proximal seminal vesicles.
