Experimental: MR Image Guided, Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy
Patients enrolled in this study will undergo MR-based, image-guided, intensity-modulated radiotherapy using similar equipment, techniques, and treatment-planning procedures as currently practiced at MSKCC.
|
Radiation: MR-based image-guided, intensity-modulated radiotherapy
Patients will receive a standard dose of 8 Gy/fraction for five fractions for a total dose of 40 Gy to the prostate with a simultaneously delivered boost of 9 Gy for five fractions (clinically non-standard dose of 45 Gy total) to a single dominant lesion with a maximum dimension of at least 0.5 cm as determined on pre-treatment diagnostic T2 MRI imaging. |
- Treatment related toxicity of ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy will be assessed according to NCI CTCAE v3.0 gastrointestinal or genitourinary toxicity [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Assess toxicity of ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy to the prostate and dominant lesion as definitive treatment for intermediate risk prostate cancer. Severe Toxicity will be assessed and defined as Grade 3 or higher NCI CTCAE v3.0 gastrointestinal or genitourinary toxicity

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Gender Based Eligibility: | Yes |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
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 or
- Clinical stage T2b/T2c
-
Additionally, patients will be required to meet the following criteria:
- Age ≥ 18
- KPS ≥ 80
- Prostate size ≤ 60cc
- Presence of a prostatic lesion with maximum dimension of >/= 0.5cm and no more than two additional disease foci, each with a maximum dimension less than that of the dominant lesion.
- International Prostrate Symptom Score ≤ 15
- Subjects must fill out the standard MRI screening form and satisfy all MRI screening criteria
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer
- 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 or inability to lie flat for the duration of the study, etc.
- Metallic hip implant, 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 chronic prostatitis
- 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. 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)
