Involvement of lymph nodes within pelvis (up to the aortic bifurcation) as per staging PSMA-PETCT at diagnosis 3. Involved node identifiable in the radiotherapy planning CT scan 4. Patient able and willing for informed consent and reliable for follow-up 5. ECOG performance status 0-2

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior prostatectomy or prostate radiotherapy 2. Prior androgen deprivation >6 months 3.
