Prostate Cancer
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Prostate Cancer focused on measuring SBRT, stereotactic body radiation therapy, prostate cancer, 21-308, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients will be eligible for this study. Risk groups will be assigned as per NCCN guidelines. Intermediate-risk patients will be defined as:
- PSA 10-20 ng/ml or
- Gleason score = 7
- Clinical stage T2b/T2c
Additionally, patients will be required to meet all of the following criteria:
- Age ≥ 18
- Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 80 (Appendix 1)
- Prostate size ≤ 80 cc
- Presence of a T2-visible prostatic lesion with maximum dimension of ≥ 0.5 cm and no more than one additional disease focus
- MRI findings: Lesion may contact the capsular edge, possible extracapsular extension (ECE) permitted
- International Prostate Symptom Score ≤ 15
- Satisfy all MRI screening criteria and be willing to fill out the standard MRI screening form
Exclusion Criteria:
Patient will be excluded if they meet any one of the following criteria:
- Gleason score >7
- PSA >20
- Prior or concurrent androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer MRI findings: suspicious for/probable ECE
- MRI findings: >2 disease foci identifiable
- Evidence of metastatic disease on bone scan or MRI/CT
- MRI ineligibility due to: the presence of a cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted metallic or electronic device which is considered MR unsafe; severe claustrophobia; inability to lie flat for the duration of the study; etc.
- Metallic implant or device in the pelvis that might distort the local magnetic field and compromise quality of mp-MRI
- Lateral pelvic separation greater than 50 cm and/or anterior-posterior separation greater than 35 cm which are incompatible with MRCAT reconstruction
- Contra-indications to receiving gadolinium contrast
- KPS < 80
- Pelvic MRI or CT (MRI preferred) evidence of radiographic T3, T4, or N1 disease
- Prior history of transurethral resection of the prostate
- Prior history of urethral stricture
- Prior history of pelvic irradiation
- History of inflammatory bowel disease
- Unable to give informed consent
- Unable to complete quality of life questionnaires
Abnormal complete blood count, including any of the following:
- Platelet count less than 75,000/ml
- Hb level less than 10 gm/dl
- WBC less than 3.5/ml
- Abnormal renal function tests (creatinine > 1.5)
