PRADO: Palliative Radiotherapy to Dominant Symptomatic Lesion in Patients With Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the present feasibility study of a new short palliative radiotherapy regime that apply to patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) presenting with a dominating debilitating symptom. Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) will apply to identify both the lesion and the most aggressive part of the lesion. The symptomatic lesions will be treated with a dose of 4 x 5 Gy, while for the most aggressive part of the lesion the dose will be escalated to 4 x 7 Gy using a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) technique.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of study participants that complete the study [6 months]
Proportion of study participants that complete radiotherapy with ≥ 90% of prescribed dose
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Response in dominating symptom score (short form McGill pain Questionnaire) [Baseline, 1,3 and 6 months after radiotherapy]
Patient score symptom/pain using the short form McGill pain Questionnaire version 2
- Acute radiation toxicity score using CTCAE [Baseline, 1,3 and 6 months after radiotherapy]
Doctor score acute radiation toxicity using the CTCAE version 4
- Quality of life score using EORTC QLQ-C30 [Baseline and 6 months after radiotherapy]
Patient fill out EORTC quality of life Questionnaire form C30
