Summary

This phase III trial tests whether an automated planning tool called RapidPlan can match or beat human-driven planning for prostate cancer radiation therapy. About 108 men with prostate cancer will be randomly assigned to one of two planning methods. The goal is to see if the automated approach leads to fewer serious side effects.
