  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

To look at the safety and effectiveness of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating advanced or high-risk prostate cancer.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) proven diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of prostate within one year of study entry. Evaluation can happen outside of MD Anderson as long as histological confirmation takes place at MD Anderson. 1. cT1c-T3a by digital exam or imaging (AJCC 8th Ed.). No cT3b-4 by digital exam or imaging (AJCC 8th Ed.) 2. Gleason Grade Group 2-5 (Gleason 7, 8, 9, 10). 3. If Gleason Grade 2, must meet definition of unfavorable intermediate risk (at least one of the following: cT2b, and/or ≥ 50% biopsy cores positive, and/or PSA \>10 ng/mL prior to starting androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). If a participant is taking 5-alpha reductase inhibitors the measured PSA may be doubled). 2. Node negative by conventional imaging. 3. Be ≥ 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent. 4. Prior pharmacologic androgen ablation for prostate cancer is allowed only if the onset of androgen ablation (both LHRH agonist and oral anti-androgen) is ≤ 185 days prior to registration; Please note: baseline PSA must be obtained prior to the start of any ADT. 5. ECOG performance status 0-2. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of active scleroderma, lupus, or other rheumatologic disease which in the opinion of the treating radiation oncologist precludes safe RT. 2. Prior prostatectomy, cryosurgery, or HIFU for adenocarcinoma of the prostate 3. Prior radiotherapy to the region of the study cancer that would result in overlap of radiation fields 4. Distant metastatic disease on conventional imaging, which by the discretion of the treating physician cannot be treated definitively.
