Brief Title: Magnetic Resonance Guided Focal Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer
Official Title: Magnetic Resonance Guided Focal Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer
Study ID: NCT02163317
Brief Summary: This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance (MRI)-guided focal stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in treating patients with low- or intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the correlation of histopathology findings in comparison to regions of the prostate reported to be suspicious for harboring tumor burden on multiparametric MRI report/s. II. Demonstration of the dosimetric and radiobiological advantages of focal stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) versus whole-gland radiation therapy. III. Evaluation of clinical outcomes in focal SBRT for localized prostate cancer. OUTLINE: Patients undergo 3 fractions of MRI-guided focal SRS every other day for 1 week. Patients undergo additional MRI scans between the 2nd and 3rd fractionated treatments, at 6 months following the end of radiation therapy, and at 12 and 24 months. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 24 months.
