New combo therapy aims to knock down prostate cancer quickly

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

One of the following criteria is sufficient to define an unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer: * Gleason = 7 (4+3) * ≥ 50% of thecore of biopsies need to be positive for adenocarcinoma If these criteria are not being identified, two or three of the following criteria are necessary to define unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer: * PSA value between 10-20 ng/ml * Gleason 7 (3+4) or 6 * T2b (clinical or radiological) Note: patients with iT3a can be included only if gleason score is 6 and PSA less than 20 . 5. Patients newly diagnosed with an unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer according to the protocol criteria or previously diagnosed with low risk (Gleason score \< 6, clinical stage \< T2a, and PSA\< 10) prostate cancer progressing to eligible risk disease according to the protocol criteria within 30 days before registration 6. Patients must have a life expectancy of at least 5 years, 7. Performance status ECOG ≤ 2, 8. Patients without contra-indications to EBRT as per physician judgement, 9.
