This is a modified dose escalation and de-escalation study with an expansion of 3 or 6 pts to allow the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) be examined in a total of 9 pts. The dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as Grade 3 or higher toxicity related to preoperative radiotherapy according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification. 3 radiation dose levels, 5 Gy, 6 Gy and 6.5Gy are considered. At the start of each dose level, 3 pts will be enrolled and treated for five days. If none of the 3 pts develop the DLT, the testing dose will escalate to the next level. If 1 of the 3 pts develops the DLT, the current dose will be tested in an additional 3 pts. If no additional pts develop the DLT, the dose will escalate.

- Number of subjects who successfully complete radical prostatectomy after SBRT without a post-operative DLT of grade 3 or higher [ Time Frame: 1 month ]Successful completion of radical prostatectomy after SBRT without a post-operative DLT of grade 3 or higher within 30 days after prostatectomy.
- Acute toxicity in patients after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and radical prostatectomy (RP) will be assessed based on NCI Common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 5.0. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Acute toxicity in patients after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and radical prostatectomy (RP) will be assessed based on NCI Common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
- Quality of life scores in patients after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and radical prostatectomy (RP) will be collected. [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Quality of life scores in patients after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and radical prostatectomy (RP) will be collected.
