- The treatment-related rate of acute grade 3 gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity following treatment with proton based radiation therapy. [ Time Frame: 6 months after the end of radiation therapy ]
- Collect and analyze quality of life, treatment-related morbidity, disease control and survival outcome parameters [ Time Frame: After radiation: every 6 months for 3 years, then annually for 20 years ]
