Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine, in both low-risk and intermediate-risk cohorts, the rates of acute and late grade 3 or higher gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity observed during a 24 month follow up and to estimate the rate of biochemical Disease-Free Survival, Phoenix and American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology definitions, at 2 years following hypofractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy for low and intermediate risk prostate cancer.
Detailed description
Radiosurgery should be ideal for treating prostate cancer because: * targeting accuracy for static targets is excellent, with an error of about 1mm, * it can adjust for intra-fractional organ motion, reducing the volume of the target PTV and therefore the dose to surrounding organs, * by using over one-hundred non-conplanar beams, the dose gradient between the prostate and surrounding tissues may be superior to that achieved with conventional linear accelerators, * the radiobiology of prostate cancer may favor large dose per fractions.

| Quality of Life (QoL) - FACT-G - Prior to Therapy | Prior to start of therapy | The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General (FACT-G) is a self-administered 27-item questionnaire designed to measure four domains of HRQOL in cancer patients. It is comprised of physical (PWB), social (SWB), emotional (EWB), and functional (FWB) well-being subscales: (PWB; 7-items, score range 0-28), (SWB; 7-items, score range 0-28), (EWB; 6-items, score range 0-24), (FWB; 7-items, score range 0-28). The FACT-G generates an overall score of 0-108). All questions in the FACT-G use a 5-point rating scale (0 = Not at all; 1 = A little bit; 2 = Somewhat; 3 = Quite a bit; and 4 = Very much) and asks information regarding the patients last 7 days. |
| Rate of Local Failure | Up to 5 years | Proportion of patients with 'local failure', which is defined as clinical evidence local recurrence. Clinical failure includes a palpable abnormality that has increased in size, failure of regression of a palpable abnormality, or redevelopment of a prostate abnormality after complete response, further confirmed by prostate biopsy. |
