About This Prostate Cancer Study in Long Beach

The purpose of this study is to find out whether giving a short course of focused radiation called an SBRT "boost" is a safe and effective way to treat prostate cancer. This boost delivers a high dose of radiation to the prostate in a non-invasive way, similar to what is done with high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy but without using needles. The study looks at how well this treatment controls the cancer, what side effects it may cause, and how it affects patients' quality of life over time.
