  Purpose

This is a Phase I dose-escalation study of moderate dose radiation therapy prior to radical prostatectomy for patients with high-risk localized disease. Its hypothesis is that such treatment will be well tolerated with similar side effect profile as surgery alone. Patients in Groups 1 and 2 will receive 39.6 Gy and 45 Gy (at 1.8 Gy/fx), respectively, to the whole pelvis. Patients in Groups 3 and 4 will receive 45 Gy to the whole pelvis, followed by a boost to the prostate and periprostatic tissue, for total doses of 50.4 and 54 Gy, respectively. The patient will then undergo radical prostatectomy between 4-8 weeks after completion of radiation.
