A Phase II Trial of CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery to Prostate Tumors

Prospective Evaluation of CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Low and Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer: Emulating Homogenous Dose Distribution

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage prostate cancer.

The investigators hypothesize that hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy via the CyberKnife® can deliver tumor ablating doses of radiation to prostate tumors safely and effectively while sparing the adjacent tissues (rectum, bladder, ureters, urethra, penile bulb, and bowel) from receiving damaging doses of radiation.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The CyberKnife system is a type of radiation machine that uses a special system to precisely focus large doses of x-rays (radiation) on the tumor. The device is designed to concentrate large doses of radiation onto the tumor so that injury from radiation to the nearby normal tissue will be minimal.

  • To document the rates of acute and late grade 3-5 gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity observed during the years following CyberKnife SRS for prostate cancer.
5-10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival
Time Frame: 5-10 years
To measure the following in the study population: rates of local failure, distant failure, disease-free survival, disease-specific survival; quality of life (QOL) in generic and organ-specific domains.
5-10 years
