Hypofractionated Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy as a Boost to the Prostate

In this study, participants will have standard androgen deprivation therapy and undergo standard radiation therapy to the prostate and at-risk lymph nodes by intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The subsequent *boost* radiation therapy to the prostate alone will be given using the CyberKnife, rather than using the standard Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy. This study will also see how CyberKnife affects the quality of the participant's life.

Inclusion criteria

• Histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate

• Gleason score (2-10)
• Biopsy within six months of date of registration
• Patient age >18 years
• Clinical stage (American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th Edition)

a. T-stage determined by physical exam (Digital Rectal Exam Required)

i. MRI findings (e.g. extracapsular extension) can be used to determine T-staging

b. N-stage determined using abdominopelvic CT scan and/or MRI

c. M-stage determined by physical exam, CT and/or MRI, and bone scan (must be M0, excepting Lymph nodes)

Please note: a SPECT bone scan including a CT of the abdomen and pelvis or an F18 Fluciclovine PET/CT fulfills protocol criteria for both the abdominopelvic CT and bone scan.

• Patient has agreed to complete questionnaires
• Signed IRB approved informed consent
• Patient eligible to have an MRI
• Must be able to tolerate the confinement of an MRI procedure

• No prior prostate surgery (including TURP) or prostate cancer treatment with the exception of androgen deprivation therapy
• No prior radiotherapy to the pelvis
• No implanted hardware (including metal) or other material that would prohibit appropriate treatment planning or treatment delivery
