Filter by:Simultaneous integrated boost radiotherapy has been investigated in some malignant tumors and appears to be safe and feasible. However, Hypofractionation with simultaneous integrated boost has been investigating in breast cancer. Investigators initiated this phase II prospective trial to analyse acute toxicity of hypofractionation with simultaneous integrated boost in patients with early breast cancer.
The present phase I trial evaluates the feasibility of a postoperative stereotactic hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy delivered in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy with adverse pathological features or early biochemical failure. Modern computer-driven technology enables the implementation of ultra-high hypofractionated Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) safely. Eligible patients for this study are those with: - Adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with radical prostatectomy (any type of radical prostatectomy is permitted including retropubic, perineal, laparoscopic or robotically assisted; there is no time limit for the date of radical prostatectomy) - Pathologic (p)T3 disease, positive margin(s), Gleason score 8-10, or seminal vesicle involvement - Undetectable post-radical prostatectomy PSA that becomes detectable and then increases on 2 subsequent measurements (PSA of > 0.1 - ≤ 2.0 ng/mL) - Life expectancy: 10 years - ECOG performance status of 0 -1 - No distant metastases, based on the following workup within 60 days prior to registration - Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis - PSMA/Choline Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to exclude systemic disease in patients with biochemical recurrence - Patients can be on androgen deprivation therapy - Ability to understand and willingness to sign a study-specific informed consent prior to study. Patients enrolled in the study will undergo image-guided, volumetric intensity-modulated arc radiotherapy (IGRT-VMAT) with state-of-the-art treatment-planning and quality assurance procedures with emphasis on normal tissue sparing and delivery accuracy via the use of devices that ensure stability and beam location reproducibility.
