Inclusion Criteria

Unfavourable intermediate or low-high risk prostate cancer
- ISUP 2 AND EITHER PSA 10-20, OR T2b/c AND greater than or equal to 50% Biopsy Cores Positive

Staging investigations showing N0M0 disease performed within 60 days prior to commencing ADT or antiandrogen:
- For high risk patients, PSMA PET staging within 60 days prior to study entry showing N0M0 disease.
- For unfavourable intermediate risk patients, either PSMA PET alone OR whole body bone scan AND EITHER CT abdomen/pelvis OR MRI prostate/pelvis.

- PSA greater than 20
- Dominant pattern 5 histology (ie Gleason score 5+4 or 5+5)
Previous pelvic radiotherapy
Prior diagnosis of cancer that was:
- more than 5 years prior to current diagnosis with subsequent evidence of disease recurrence or clinical expectation of recurrence is greater than 10%
- within 5 years of current diagnosis with the exception of successfully treated basal cell or squamous cell skin carcinoma or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
Patients with clinical evidence of metastatic disease.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of Biochemical Clinical Control (BCC). Prostate cancer biochemical control measured by Phoenix definition of nadir + 2ng/mL (blood PSA measurement) and/or detection of metastases (imaging or other) or initiation of salvage intervention (further treatment) by the 5 year time point[ Assessed 6 wks post SBRT and then 6 monthly up to 5 years]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of replanning following Knowledge Based Planning (KBP) feedback to trial centres. Rate of replanning prior to radiotherapy treatment performed by trial centres following KBP comparison against initial plan. In KBP, a model is developed using a range of patient anatomies and target volumes. This can then be rapidly applied to a new case to either generate a plan de novo, or compare with a conventional plan.[ Within 12 months after first 150 participants accrued.];Rate of trial centre conversion to prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) only planning. The rate of full conversion to MRI based prostate radiotherapy planning (i.e. CT scan no longer required to complete radiotherapy planning). Modern RT planning uses electron density from a CT dataset to calculate dose. Many centres now acquire both a CT and a MRI.[ Within 12 months after first 150 participants accrued]
