Purpose

This trial is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial designed to assess whether adaptive radiotherapy with urethral sparing for low to intermediate risk localized prostate cancer will translate into a decreased rate of patient reported acute urinary side effects, as measured by the patient reported EPIC-26 questionnaire, compared with the historically reported rate for non-adaptive, non-urethral sparing prostate SBRT.

Experimental
Adaptive SBRT with Urethral Sparing
Daily adaptive stereotactic body radiation therapy delivering 40 Gy in 5 fractions to the prostate while delivery 35-36 Gy in 5 fractions to the urethra.
  • Device: Daily adaptive SBRT with urethral sparing
    The radiation plan for each daily fraction is adapted from the initial plan based on cone beam CT imaging acquired while the participant is laying on the treatment machine.
