Trial Outcomes & Findings for Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy With or Without Decreased Radiation Dose to Erectile Tissue in Treating Patients With Stage II Prostate Cancer (NCT NCT00084552)

NCT ID: NCT00084552

Last Updated: 2021-02-25

Results Overview

Postage Stamp Test -A row of stamps is placed around the base of the penis and the ends are moistened and joined. If the circle is broken in the morning then the subject was recorded as having had a nocturnal erection International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) Questionnaire * 15-item questionnaire that measures erectile function * Includes companion questionnaire which measures how the partner feels her sexual relationship with the patient has changed since his cancer diagnosis and therapy

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 year duration after completion of radiotherapy

Population: Some patients did not submit follow-up questionnaires at 24 months post-treatment

If the circle is broken in the morning then the subject was recorded as having had a nocturnal erection International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) Questionnaire * 15-item questionnaire that measures erectile function * Includes companion questionnaire which measures how the partner feels her sexual relationship with the patient has changed since his cancer diagnosis and therapy

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years after treatment

Patients without documented failure will undergo needle biopsy of the prostate. A minimum of 12 core biopsies will be taken and additional biopsies will be taken from any suspicious areas (ultrasound or palpation) and/or the original site of biopsy confirmation of prostate cancer at diagnosis. The 12 biopsy sites include sextant, bilateral lateral base, bilateral lateral mid-gland and bilateral transition zone. These data will enable us to evaluate the extent of disease eradication, as well as the prognostic significance of positive biopsies in otherwise palpably normal prostate glands after treatment.
