Mild Hypofractionation With Proton Therapy or IMRT for Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer (NCT01352429)

A Phase II Trial of Proton Radiation Therapy or Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Using Mild Hypofractionation for Low-and Intermediate -Risk Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This is a study to first establish feasibility of the study and then to register the treatment data of adult patients with a diagnosis of intermediate risk of prostate cancer presenting for definitive radiation treatment with either proton radiotherapy or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). The investigators propose to employ a hypofractionated strategy with our image guided treatment to further improve cancer control and decrease toxicity.
