Brief Title: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for Prostate Cancer
Official Title: A Phase II Study of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for Prostate Cancer Using Continuous Real-time Evaluation of Prostate Motion and IMRT Plan Reoptimization Based on the Anatomy of the Day
Study ID: NCT00941915
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of urinary and gastrointestinal acute and late side effects in patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to the prostate. Stereotactic radiation therapy is given as five treatments over a 2-3 week period. The prostate is localized and the plan is reoptimized as needed prior to each treatment.
Detailed Description: This protocol requires radiation treatments to be performed with a stereotactic technique with the use of a 3-D coordinate system defined by implanted transponders (i.e. Calypso) or use of the ExacTrac system and/or use cone-beam CT (CBCT) with fiducial markers.
