Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this trial is to give a shorter course (5 ½ weeks) of radiation that has as little side effects on normal bladder and rectal tissues as the usual longer course (8 weeks) of radiation, without decreasing the chance of killing prostate cancer cells.

Detailed Description
