A Phase III Randomized Study of Hypofractionated 3D-CRT/MRT Versus Conventionally Fractionated 3D-CRT/MRT in Patients With Favorable-Risk Prostate Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Conventional 3D-CRT or IMRT and Hypofractionated 3D-CRT or IMRT for Prostate Cancer. Completed, enrolled 1,116 participants across 296 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Giving radiation therapy that uses a 3-dimensional (3-D) image of the tumor to help focus thin beams of radiation directly on the tumor, and giving hypofractionated radiation therapy (higher doses over a shorter period of time), may be less costly with fewer side effects and just as effective in treating prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying several different radiation therapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating patients with stage II prostate cancer.
