Trial Identification
Brief Title: Cone Beam CT for Daily Image Guidance - Prostate Cancer
Official Title: A Phase II Feasibility Study of Cone Beam Computed Tomography for Daily Image Guidance in Patients Receiving Dose Escalated Conformal Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Study ID: NCT00188786
Conditions
Study Description
Brief Summary: Conformal dose escalated radiation therapy (CRT) is standard treatment for patients with low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. CRT requires accurate daily localization of the prostate prior to treatment to correct for prostate motion and set-up errors. Cone beam computed tomography (CT) can accurately localize fiducial markers within the prostate. Cone Beam CT also provides important information on daily position of organs within the pelvis. This study aims to assess the feasibility of cone beam CT for daily localization of the prostate as well as document changes in size and location of pelvic organs during an entire course of CRT.
