Prostate Cancer, Adenocarcinoma
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Prostate Cancer focused on measuring prostate, radiation, 09-035
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Eligibility is not restricted to MSKCC to confirm biopsy/diagnosis. Participating institution testing is sufficient.

- Gleason score = 7 or
- Clinical stage T2b/T2c
Additionally, patients will be required to meet the following criteria:
- Age > or = to 18
- KPS > or = to 70
- Pre-treatment endorectal coil MRI or CT (MRI preferred) at MSKCC showing no definite evidence of radiographic T3, T4, or N1 disease

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Radiation
Patients enrolled in the study will undergo image-guided, intensity-modulated radiotherapy using the same equipment, techniques, and treatment-planning procedures as currently practiced as MSKCC. MSKCC patients will have the option of continued follow-up through MSKCC's established Prostate Survivorship Clinic for an indefinite period of time, meaning patients enrolled in the protocol will be encouraged to remain at MSKCC for life-long follow-up after their treatment. The standard assessments obtained in the Survivorship Clinic will not be altered. All protocol relevant data collected at these visits through month 60 will be used for protocol analysis.
