Brief Title: Dose Escalation Study of Preoperative SBRT for High Risk Prostate Cancer
Official Title: A Phase I Dose Escalation Study of Preoperative Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for High Risk Prostate Cancer
Study ID: NCT02572284
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of different doses of SBRT given before prostatectomy. Depending when participants enter the study, they will be treated with either 5 or 6 gray (Gy) per day of radiation. A Gy is a measure of radiation dose. The standard dose is 10Gy per day when SBRT is the only treatment to the prostate and no surgery is planned. The researchers want to see which dose of radiation will work best with the least amount of side effects. About 4-6 weeks after SBRT, participants will have a prostatectomy.
