This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance (MRI)-guided focal stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in treating patients with low- or intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the correlation of histopathology findings in comparison to regions of the prostate reported to be suspicious for harboring tumor burden on multiparametric MRI report/s. II. Demonstration of the dosimetric and radiobiological advantages of focal stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) versus whole-gland radiation therapy. III. Evaluation of clinical outcomes in focal SBRT for localized prostate cancer. OUTLINE: Patients undergo 3 fractions of MRI-guided focal SRS every other day for 1 week. Patients undergo additional MRI scans between the 2nd and 3rd fractionated treatments, at 6 months following the end of radiation therapy, and at 12 and 24 months. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 24 months.

Quality of life scores will be summarized graphically and repeated measures of variance will be conducted to test for changes in scores over time
Test of the PSA protein in blood. The test will be run every three months for up to two years during the study.
Exam of rectal health. Performed every three months for up to two years throughout the study.
This survey measures a patient's function and bother after prostate cancer treatment. It will be analyzed using ANOVA using data collected every 6 months for up to 2 years of the study.

Number of patients with change in EPIC bowel domain score that was worse than 5 points
Number of patients with change in EPIC bowel domain score that was worse than 5 points A rate for the worse-than-5 point change in bowel score of up to 35% of patients will be considered acceptable, with a rate ≥55% specified as unacceptable
Time frame: Up to 1 year from start of study

PSA response
Number of patients with PSA failure. Failure occurs when the PSA is first noted to be 2 ng/mL or more than the patient's nadir value post radiation therapy completion

Number of acute gastrointestinal (GI) grade 3+ acute adverse events, evaluated by the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) active version of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
Defined as the first occurrence of worst severity of the adverse event =\< 30 days after the completion of radiation therapy. Multivariate analysis will be used, and acute rates of GI toxicity will be reported with dose-volume histogram.
Time frame: Up to 30 days after the completion of radiation therapy
Number of acute genitourinary (GU) grade 3+ acute adverse events, evaluated by the CTEP version of the NCI CTCAE

Time frame: Up to 2 years from start of study
Number of late GI grade 3+ acute adverse events, evaluated by the CTEP version of the NCI CTCAE
Defined as the first occurrence of worst severity of adverse event \> 180 days after radiation therapy completion. Multivariate analysis will be used, and acute rates of GI toxicity will be reported with dose-volume histogram.
Time frame: Up to 2 years from start of study
Number of late GU grade 3+ acute adverse events, evaluated by the CTEP version of the NCI CTCAE
