Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Newly diagnosed and biopsy proven prostate cancer
  • Intermediate risk patients (PSA <= 20 ng/mL, Gleason ≤ 7, T2b)
  • No previous treatment for prostate cancer
  • Cancer lesion located at least 1 cm away from the neurovascular bundle according to Multimodality MR images

  • Patients with evidence for nodal or metastatic disease
  • Patients with an estimated Glomerular Filtration Ratio (eGFR) < 40 mL/min/1.73 m2
