CyberKnife Radiosurgery For Low & Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer: Emulating HDR Brachytherapy Dosimetry
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage organ-confined prostate cancer and to evaluate the effects of this treatment on the quality of life over time.

Detailed Description
In this study, CyberKnife radiosurgery will be used to produce dose distributions comparable to those created by HDR brachytherapy treatment, without the use of invasive catheters. The radiosurgery volumes will closely be made to resemble HDR brachytherapy therapeutic volumes with similar dose limitation objectives to adjacent normal tissues.
The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is a unique radiosurgical system capable of treating tumors anywhere in the body noninvasively and with sub-millimeter accuracy. The CyberKnife System delivers radiation using a precise targeting methodology allowing a focal treatment margin around the target, thus limiting the volume of adjacent tissue receiving high doses radiation. This in turn allows the delivery of high doses of radiation to the prostate over a short series of treatments.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To determine biochemical disease free survival (using both ASTRO and Phoenix definitions) and measure the rates of acute and late genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicities following CyberKnife radiosurgery. [10 years]
- To compare the CyberKnife biochemical disease free survival rates (bDFS) to published HDR monotherapy bDFS rates reported in the literature. [10 years]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To measure the rates of local failure, distant failure, clinical-disease free survival, disease-specific survival, overall survival and quality of life. [10 years]
