A Study of Shorter Course Hormone Therapy and Radiation for High-risk Prostate Cancer

ADT will include bicalutamide 50 mg PO daily started 1-2 weeks before leuprolide 22.5mg IM or SQ delivered every 3 months x 2. Bicalutamide will be continued through radiation and then discontinued on the day of the last fraction. Leuprolide can be given at different doses, but must be given for a total planned duration of 6 months.

After approximately 3 months (+/- 1 month) of neoadjuvant ADT, patients will undergo general anesthesia for outpatient transperineal high dose rate (HDR) interstitial prostate brachytherapy implant.

Patients will receive image-guided, intensity-modulated, hypofractionated radiation therapy targeting the prostate, seminal vesicles and pelvic lymph nodes to a dose of 25 Gy in 5 fractions delivered daily.
