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.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of Acute Grade 3 or Higher GI and GU ToxicitiesUp to 90 daysNumber of patients experiencing acute grade 3 or higher GI and GU toxicities. Acute toxicities are those occurring within 90 days of start of treatment, assessed using the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (CTCAE) version 3.0.
Rate of Late Grade 3 or Higher GI and GU ToxicitiesAfter 90 days post-treatment, up to 5 years per patientNumber of patients experiencing late grade 3 or higher GI and GU toxicities. Late toxicities are those occurring after 90 days post start of treatment, assessed using the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (CTCAE) version 3.0.
Biochemical Disease-Free Survival Rate (bDFS)Up to 5 yearsBiochemical Disease-Free Survival (bDFS) as defined by Phoenix and ASTRO. Biochemical progression-free survival events were defined as PSA of ≥ 0.4 ng/mL following postoperative radiotherapy, PSA \> 2.0 ng/mL at any time, clinical progression, initiation of non-protocol hormone therapy, and death from any cause.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of Life (QoL) - FACT-G - Prior to TherapyPrior to start of therapyThe 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 FailureUp to 5 yearsProportion 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.
