Brief Title: Mild Hypofractionation With Proton Therapy or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer
Official Title: A Phase II Trial of Proton Radiation Therapy or Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Using Mild Hypofractionation for Low-and Intermediate -Risk Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate
Study ID: NCT01352429
Brief Summary: This is a study to first establish feasibility of the study and then to register the treatment data of adult patients with a diagnosis of intermediate risk of prostate cancer presenting for definitive radiation treatment with either proton radiotherapy or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). The investigators propose to employ a hypofractionated strategy with our image guided treatment to further improve cancer control and decrease toxicity.
Detailed Description: This study will be done in two phases, first, a feasibility study and then a registration study. In the first, feasibility will be established using the primary objectives set below. The second phase will begin no earlier than 30 days after the last patient in the initial phase has completed treatment and once safety and feasibility has been verified. The secondary objectives will serve as the objectives for the second phase of the study.
