Dose-Escalated Proton Radiation Therapy for High-Risk Prostate Cancer

"The prostate and proximal seminal vesicles will be treated to 2 cobalt gray equivalent per fraction for 39 fractions for a total of 78 cobalt gray equivalent.~Simultaneous integrated boost to the IPT will be delivered to 2.2 cobalt gray equivalent per fraction for 39 fractions for a total of 85.8 cobalt gray equivalent.~Treatment will be given once a day, approximately 5 treatments per week (Monday- Friday), over 8-9 weeks."

"The prostate, proximal seminal vesicles, and pelvic nodes will be treated to 2 cobalt gray equivalent per fraction for 23 fractions for a total of 46 cobalt gray equivalent.~The prostate and proximal seminal vesicles will be treated to an additional 2 cobalt gray equivalent per fraction for 16 fractions for a total of 32 cobalt gray equivalent.~Electively treat the entire uninvolved seminal vesicle to 2 cobalt gray equivalent per fraction for 39 fractions for a total of 78 cobalt gray equivalent when part of the seminal vesicle is involved with tumor.~Simultaneous integrated boost to the IPT will be delivered to 2.2 cobalt gray equivalent per fraction for 39 fractions for a total of 85.8 cobalt gray equivalent.~Treatment will be given once a day, approximately 5 treatments per week (Monday- Friday), over 8-9 weeks."
