Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether combining a shorter than standard course of ADT with standard prostate brachytherapy and hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy is a safe and effective way to prevent high-risk prostate cancer from coming back and/or spreading to other parts of the body.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALAndrogen deprivation therapy (ADT)

ADT will include bicalutamide 50 mg PO daily started 1-2 weeks before leuprolide 22.5mg IM or SQ delivered every 3 months x 2. Bicalutamide will be continued through radiation and then discontinued on the day of the last fraction. Leuprolide can be given at different doses, but must be given for a total planned duration of 6 months.

RADIATIONBrachytherapy

After approximately 3 months (+/- 1 month) of neoadjuvant ADT, patients will undergo general anesthesia for outpatient transperineal high dose rate (HDR) interstitial prostate brachytherapy implant.

RADIATIONHypofractionated pelvic External beam radiation

Patients will receive image-guided, intensity-modulated, hypofractionated radiation therapy targeting the prostate, seminal vesicles and pelvic lymph nodes to a dose of 25 Gy in 5 fractions delivered daily.

Inclusion criteria

* Pathologically-proven diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma * Clinical stage T3-4 or Gleason score 8-10 or PSA \>20 ng/ml °If radiographic T3-T4 is the only high-risk factor, it must be consistent with or \>90% probability of having T3-T4 disease determined by the reading radiologist. * Decipher genomic score ≤0.6 * Willing and able to provide written informed consent and Authorization for Use and Release of Health and Research Study Information (HIPAA authorization) * Age ≥18 * KPS ≥70 or ECOG 0-2 * Estimated life expectancy \>5 years * Baseline prostate volume ≤90 cc * Baseline IPSS ≤20 * No contraindications to ADT, brachytherapy, or pelvic external beam radiation therapy as determined by the treating radiation oncologist per standard practice * Patients who have already started ADT consisting of bicalutamide 50 mg PO daily with leuprolide or an equivalent GnRH analogue are eligible if given for ≤ 60 days prior to registration

Exclusion criteria

* Regional lymph node or metastatic disease * Prior pelvic radiation * Prior prostate surgery (including TURP or cryosurgery) * Prior history of inflammatory bowel disease * Unable to undergo anesthesia or brachytherapy * Active second malignancy or past history of malignancies diagnosed within the last 2 years that requires active therapy and/or in remission, with the exception of resected non-melanoma skin cancers, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, stage I head and neck cancer, or stage I colorectal cancer
