High-Dose Lymph Node Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy and Hypofractionated Prostate (SIB)
Sponsor: Medical College of Wisconsin
Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects (good and bad) of using newer technologies that allow very precise delivery of radiation. These newer technologies are Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT).
Official title: A Phase II Trial of High-Dose Pelvic Lymph Node IMRT( Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) and Hypofractionated Prostate IMRT for High Risk Prostate Cancer Patients
