Prospective Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB-VMAT) Radiotherapy in HR/VHR Prostate Cancer With EPLNI
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypofractionated simultaneous integrated boost volumetric arc radiation therapy (SIB - VMAT) for high-risk and very high-risk localized prostate cancer in terms of:
1. Acute and late gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities. 2. Evaluate the efficacy in terms of early bPFS. 3. Dosimetric evaluation in terms of target coverage and organs at risk sparing
Inclusion: Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate; Classification as High-Risk (HR) or Very High-Risk (VHR) per NCCN guidelines (e.g., T3a+, PSA > 20 ng/mL, or Gleason Score 8-10); Adequate baseline urinary function (IPSS \le 20); Multiparametric MRI of the prostate; CT Chest, Abdomen, and Pelvis; Bone scan; Optional: PSMA-PET/CT to definitively exclude distant metastases (M1) and provide high-fidelity nodal assessment prior to treatment planning.
Exclusion: Prior pelvic radiotherapy; History of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) or active severe proctitis; Presence of distant metastases.
