About this trial

Patients with prostate cancer who are candidates for stereotactic radiotherapy to the prostate and seminal vesicles will undergo staging exams, which will include prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). If the PET scan is negative and the uroflowmetry is acceptable, the patients will perform the treatment, after fiducial implantation, simulation CT and magnetic resonance (MR), in a single fraction, delivered with a high-dose-rate (HDR)-like urethral sparing technique. In 70 patients, acute and late toxicity, biochemical control, overall survival, cancer specific-survival, and quality of life (through specific questionnaires) will be evaluated.
