Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate, meeting the following criteria:
  • Clinical stage T1b-T3a, N0, M0
  • Locally confined disease
  • Previously untreated disease
  • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤ 30 ng/mL
  • Estimated risk of seminal vesicle involvement \< 30%
  • Estimated risk of seminal vesicle involvement is defined as PSA + (\[Gleason score - 6\] x 10) (i.e., if Gleason score ≤ 6, then PSA must be ≤ 30 ng/mL; if Gleason score = 7, then PSA must be \< 20 ng/mL; if Gleason score = 8, then PSA must be \< 10 ng/mL; if Gleason score = 9 or 10 patient is ineligible)
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • WHO performance status 0 or 1
  • Life expectancy \> 10 years (5 years for patients with poorly differentiated cancers)
  • WBC \> 4,000/mm\^3
  • Hemoglobin \> 11g/dL
  • Platelet count \> 100,000/mm\^3
  • No other active malignancy within the past 5 years except basal cell carcinoma
  • No hip prosthesis or fixation that would interfere with standard radiation beam configuration
  • No comorbid conditions likely to impact on the advisability of radical radiotherapy (e.g., previous inflammatory bowel disease, previous colorectal surgery, significant bladder instability, or urinary incontinence)
  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • No prior pelvic radiotherapy
  • No prior radical prostatectomy
  • No prior androgen-deprivation therapy
  • No concurrent full anticoagulation therapy with warfarin or heparin
