Interventions

Treatment technique: The radiation treatment shall be given with external photon beam therapy with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and/or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)

Sponsors

Eligibility

Sex/Gender
Male
Age
18 Years to 75 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Men less than 75 years of age and, as judged by the doctor, a life expectancy of 10 years (except for cancer) at time of randomisation with performance status World Health Organization (WHO) grades 0 - 2 2. Patients with a histologically verified prostatic cancer 3. Patients with intermediate risk prostatic cancer of clinical category T1c - T3a with one or two of the following risk factors: 3.1. T3a or Gleason greater than 7 3.2. PSA greater than 10 according to the TNM classification system UICC 2002 4. PSA less than 20 µg/L 5. The patients should have no evidence of metastases according to the definition above 6. Patients should be lymph node negative according to the definition above, i.e. staging 7. Patients should be suitable for radiotherapy 8. Patients must have signed informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients who earlier have undergone any other treatment for prostatic cancer 2. Patients unable to co-operate or suffering from any other form of disease that would interfere with the planned treatment (e.g. colitis) 3. Patients with previous diagnosis of other malignant disease. Exceptions could be made for basal cell carcinoma of the skin or progression free survival at least 10 years after any previous tumour. 4. Previous hormone therapy (castration or anti-androgens) 5. Any condition that prevent markers implantation, i.e. anal fissure
