Summary

This trial is testing a new, more precise way of doing radiation therapy that may be more effective and have fewer side effects than the current standard.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with prostate cancer that's come back after surgery, shown by rising PSA levels. They should have had certain adverse features at the time of surgery or found cancer in lymph nodes. No prior pelvic radiotherapy, no distant metastases, and no specific other cancers or conditions like Crohn's disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a high-precision radiation therapy called Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) combined with Hormone Therapy to see if it can treat prostate cancer more effectively with fewer treatments and less damage to healthy tissue.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include skin reactions, fatigue, urinary issues such as increased frequency or discomfort, bowel changes like diarrhea or rectal bleeding, and erectile dysfunction due to the targeted area.
