Primary Outcome Measures:
  • acute and late toxicity to the GU and GI systems [ Time Frame: 1 year follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    acute and late toxicity to the GU and GI systems based on the RTOG definitions will be compared to those of standard radiation therapy.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Drop in the PSA (biochemical marker) [ Time Frame: 1 year follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    One year biochemical control rate of >90%.


Estimated Enrollment: 10

    Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
Detailed Description:

External beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer, while effective, takes up to 9 weeks to deliver on a Monday through Friday basis. Recent phase I/II studies from Seattle and Palo Alto using stereotactic guidance to deliver high doses of radiation to the prostate over a 1 to 2 week period of time suggest that outcomes may be equal or superior to standard approaches. These data, combined with markedly improved convenience for patients, make radiosurgery (SBRT) for early-stage prostate cancer an enticing option. The goal of this study is to offer a radiosurgical option to patients within the Sharp system under the umbrella of an IRB-approved study.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   50 Years to 90 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Male
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male with any age (typically 50 to 70 years old) with a low risk disease. This is defined as a Gleason's score of 6 or less, clinical stage of T2a or less, and a PSA of less than 10. We will also include patients with Gleason's score of 3+4=7 if there are fewer than 2 cores positive, with no more than 5mm of tumor in aggregate dimension.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior surgery or radiotherapy for prostate cancer, PSA over 10, Gleason scores 7, 8, 9, or 10 (except Gleason 7 as noted, above), or clinical stage T2b, T2c, T3, or T4.
