About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Prostate Cancer focused on measuring tomotherapy, MRSZ, high risk prostate cancer

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - 75 Years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: High risk localized prostate cancer Exclusion Criteria: Low/intermediate risk, metastatic cancer Patient refusal

Sites / Locations

  • Cross Cancer Institute

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Rectal Toxicity
Determine the acute and late rectal toxicity of high-dose short-course hypofractionated radiotherapy in five weeks in the treatment of high rish prostate cancer.

Secondary Outcome Measures

prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and MRSI disease control
Determine the biochemical control (freedom from PSA failure) rate, overall and disease free survival.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Helical tomotherapy is being used to treat the prostate gland, local rates of spread and regional lymph nodes whilst sparing gross structures. The radiation to the gross disease in the prostate is hypofractionated and dose escalated. Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is incorporated into pre- and post-treatment evaluation.
