You may be able to join if

  • Male, ≥ 18 years old
  • Oligorecurrent disease limited to the sub-diaphragmatic region with or without pelvic lymph nodes
  • a. No more than a total of 5 lesions on PSMA PET/CT scan (each lesion defined as positive with standardized uptake value (SUV) > liver uptake and CT scan correlate)
  • b. No disease outside of the pelvic and sub-diaphragmatic para-aortic lymph nodes
  • c. At least one lesion in the sub-diaphragmatic pelvic or para-aortic lymph nodes
  • d. Non-bulky nodal disease (ie, tumor <5 cm)
  • Prior pelvic radiation with disease response
  • a. Definitive radiation therapy to the prostate with or without treatment of the pelvic lymph nodes and/or
  • b. Salvage or adjuvant radiation therapy to the prostate bed following prostatectomy with or without treatment of the pelvic lymph nodes
  • Hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-2
  • Ability to understand the investigational nature, potential risks and benefits of the research study, and willingness to sign the written informed consent and HIPAA document(s)

The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

Treatments listed in the registry

  • Para Aortic Radiation Therapy: Photon Therapy (Radiation): Participants will undergo five weeks of PA-RT daily, for up to 30 minutes per day for 25 days, Monday through Friday, consisting of a total dose of 50 grays (Gys) delivered in 25 fractions to the Clinical Tumor Volume (CTV).
  • Para Aortic Radiation Therapy: Proton Therapy (Radiation): Participants will undergo five weeks of PA-RT daily, for up to 30 minutes per day for 25 days, Monday through Friday, consisting of a total dose of 60 to 65 Gys delivered in 25 fractions to the Gross Tumor Volume (GTVn).
  • Androgen Deprivation Therapy (Drug): Androgen deprivation therapy will be administered as per standard of care.
  • Androgen Receptor Signaling Inhibitor (Drug): Androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI) will be administered as per standard of care.

The study

Treatment groups

Na · Single Group · masking: None
