Phase II Trial Of Combined High Dose Rate Brachytherapy And External Beam Radiotherapy For Adenocarcinoma Of The Prostate
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating High Dose brachytherapy boost and External beam radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer. Completed, enrolled 129 participants across 12 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other sources to damage tumor cells. Internal radiation therapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving internal radiation therapy together with external-beam radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage II or stage III prostate cancer.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
19 Gy in two fractions (on day of placement and 6-24 hours later) before or after external beam radiotherapy, such that all study treatment occurs within 8 weeks.
45 Gy as 1.8 Gy five days a week for five weeks.
