About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to combine several optimized treatments of high risk prostate cancer. The main question to answer is: is it safe to combine these optimized treatments.
* patients will be irradiated on the prostate and (elective) lymph nodes more concentrated but with fewer hospital visits (hypofractionation) * the tumor will get a higher dose * androgen deprivation therapy will be reduced as much al possible preventing side effects
Researchers will compare oncological outcome and toxicity.
