Radiation: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
Stereotactic body or external-beam radiation therapy (SBRT) is a method of delivery of radiation in precision manner to the prostate bed in this study. The SBRT dose prescription will be 3000 cGy in 5 fractions to the prostate bed and 2500 cGy in 5 fractions to the pelvic nodes if elective nodal irradiation (ENI) is used, delivered every other business day. |
- Early Adverse Events/toxicities experience by Participants [ Time Frame: 6.5 years ]Incidence of acute GU and GI toxicities, based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0
- Late Adverse Events/toxicities experienced by Participants [ Time Frame: 6.5 years ]Incidence of late GU and GI toxicities (≥6 months) using CTCAE v5.0
- Quality of Life of participants using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite questionnaire [ Time Frame: 6.5 years ]Acute and late GU and GI quality of life (QoL) using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite questionnaire which evaluates participant's function and bother after prostate cancer treatment. Each question is scored from 1-5, 1 being the better outcome and 5 being the worst outcome.
- Biochemical disease-free survival [ Time Frame: 6.5 years ]Biochemical disease-free survival (bDFS), defined as survival until first evidence of either biochemical progression (PSA of 0.4 ng/mL or greater) following postoperative radiotherapy, PSA of more than 2.0 ng/mL at any time after postoperative radiotherapy, clinical or radiological progression, initiation of non-protocol hormone therapy, or death from prostate cancer
- Health Utilities using The Patient-Oriented Prostate Utility Scale [ Time Frame: 6.5years ]Health utilities using The Patient-Oriented Prostate Utility Scale to measure health-related quality of life, whether it improves, deteriorates or stay the same. There are 10 questions, each questions has 5 possible answers, with 1 being the better outcome and 5 being the worst outcome.
- Health Utilities using EuroQol- 5 Dimension Questionnaire [ Time Frame: 6.5years ]
Health utilities using the EuroQol- 5 Dimension Questionnaire determines 5 variables, each with 5 possible options, with the first being the best outcome and the last being the worst outcome. The 5 variables include:
- Mobility
- Self-care
- Usual Activities
- Pain/discomfort
- Anxiety/depression
