Hypofractionated Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Plus Hormonal Therapy in Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
High Risk Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Radiation: IMRT Technique
Registration Number
NCT02107287
Lead Sponsor
Sergio Faria
Brief Summary

Considering the promising results with hypofractionated in low and intermediate risk prostate cancer, our proposal is to translate this experience to patients with high risk prostate cancer. Patients with high risk disease would receive hypofractionated RT to the prostate and to the external and internal iliac lymph nodes using IMRT plus long-term hormonal therapy. The objective of the study is to show that long term grade\>2 late toxicity is acceptable and similar to published data using hypofractionated technique in the prostate only.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
ToxicityFirst 3 months (acute toxicity)

Acute and late toxicity following treatment with IMRT to the prostate and pelvic lymphatic chains will be assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 (http://ctep.cancer.gov) for grading of all adverse events will be used in this study.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Freedom from biochemical failure, patterns of failure.At 5 years

To measure freedom from biochemical failure (PSA measurement) at 5 years.
