Considering the promising results with hypofractionated in low and intermediate risk prostate cancer, our proposal is to translate this experience to patients with high risk prostate cancer. Patients with high risk disease would receive hypofractionated RT to the prostate and to the external and internal iliac lymph nodes using IMRT plus long-term hormonal therapy. The objective of the study is to show that long term grade\>2 late toxicity is acceptable and similar to published data using hypofractionated technique in the prostate only.

Toxicity
Acute and late toxicity following treatment with IMRT to the prostate and pelvic lymphatic chains will be assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 (http://ctep.cancer.gov) for grading of all adverse events will be used in this study.
Time frame: First 3 months (acute toxicity)
Freedom from biochemical failure, patterns of failure.
To measure freedom from biochemical failure (PSA measurement) at 5 years.
Time frame: At 5 years
