A Feasibility Trail of Proton Radiation Therapy or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) Using Mild Hypofractionation for Intermediate -Risk Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate
This study will be done in two phases, first, a feasibility study and then a registration
study. In the first, feasibility will be established using the primary objectives set
below. The second phase will begin no earlier than 30 days after the last patient in the
initial phase has completed treatment and once safety and feasibility has been verified.
The secondary objectives will serve as the objectives for the second phase of the study.
