Description:
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects (good and bad) of using newer
technologies that allow very precise delivery of radiation. These newer technologies are
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT).

Conditions
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects (good and bad) of using newer
technologies that allow very precise delivery of radiation. These newer technologies are
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT).
Detailed Description
In this study the treating physicians will deliver a high dose of radiation to pelvic lymph
nodes of 56 Gy (Gy/Gray = measure of amount of radiation) and at the same time give a boost
(additional) radiation to the prostate itself (to 70 Gy). The study will evaluate the
response of the cancer and side effects of radiation to pelvic lymph nodes and to the
prostate.
It is hoped that these newer technologies will:
1. allow a higher daily dose of radiation to the tumor and pelvic nodes
2. avoid nearby normal tissue and organs like the rectum and bladder
3. prevent the cancer from spreading or coming back
