Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well focal radiation therapy with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy works in treating patients with low or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. HDR brachytherapy uses high doses of radiation to target these tumor cells. Giving focal radiation therapy with SBRT or HDR brachytherapy may target dominant tumor cells while sparing the reminder of the prostate or surrounding normal organs and ultimately reduce side effects while maintaining disease control.
This early phase I trial studies the feasibility of a daily, long-term intermittent fasting routine in preventing or delaying a rise in prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body (localized) and who have undergone radical prostatectomy. PSA is a protein produced by both normal and cancer cells. Following a daily fasting routine after treatment for prostate cancer may lower the risk of patients' PSA level rising above 0.4 ng/mL, which is also called PSA-recurrence. A PSA-recurrence can sometimes mean that the disease has returned and/or progressed.
