Hypofractionated radiosurgery has been investigated in a few trials and appears to be safe and feasible.
Investigators initiated this multicenter phase II prospective trial to analyse feasibility (toxicity) of hypofractionated radiosurgery with 5 fractions in patients with localised prostate cancer, who are ineligible for the "PREFERE trial" under the hypothesis that the ratio of patients with late toxicity ≥ grade 2 after 1 year amounts 2,8% and is significant lower than 17.5%.

Image-guided stereotactic Linac based RT preferable with "dedicated radiosurgery system" such as CyberKnife |
- Late toxicity measured with Radiation Therapy Oncology Group-(RTOG)-Score [ Time Frame: 12-15 months after radiotherapy ]
- Acute toxicity analysed by Adverse Event (AE)- and Serious Adverse Event (SAE)-reports. [ Time Frame: through study completion ]
- Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) [ Time Frame: At the time of inclusion and 1, 3, 6-9 and 12-15 months after radiotherapy ]
- International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) [ Time Frame: Screening and 3, 6-9 and 12-15 months after radiotherapy ]
- EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) C30 [ Time Frame: At the time of inclusion and 12-15 months after radiotherapy ]
