Summary

This study tests whether a shorter, higher-dose radiation schedule (hypofractionated) works as well as the standard longer schedule for men with prostate cancer who have had surgery. About 186 men will take part. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment causes fewer side effects while still controlling the cancer.
