CyberKnife Dose Escalation Prostate Cancer Trial (NCT03822494)

CyberKnife Dose Escalation for Unfavorable and High-risk Prostate Cancer

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Crozer-Keystone Health System

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

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been employed in the treatment of prostate cancer. Multiple single institution experiences suggest high biochemical control rates with acceptable toxicity in low risk prostate cancer but efficacy data in unfavorable type prostate cancer is less convincing. CyberKnife-SBRT (CK-SBRT) can be used to escalate radiation dose delivery to the prostate while sparing normal tissue.
