Pilot Evaluation of High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy ± Image-Guided Intensity Modulated Hypofractionated External Radiotherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating brachytherapy, hypofractionated radiation therapy, and 2 other interventions for Prostate Cancer. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of internal radiation therapy when given with or without external-beam radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with localized prostate cancer.
