Summary

This study tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation (up to 81 Gy) to men with high-risk prostate cancer can better control the disease without causing too many side effects. About 251 men who also need hormone therapy will receive targeted radiation using a precise technique called IMRT. Researchers will track cancer recurrence and side effects for up to 9 years.
