This is a phase II randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the toxicities and clinical efficacy of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) and multi- parameter Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guided simultaneous integrated boost for prostate cancer.
Local recurrences of prostate cancer following radiotherapy often originate from the primary tumor site. Therefore,focal boost to the primary gross tumor has been proposed to increase biochemical disease-free survival (bDFS) without increasing toxicity. The higher relative biological effectiveness (RBE) and greater cytocidal effect on the intrinsic radiation resistant cancer cells offer carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) advantages over conventional radiotherapy. In this study, carbon ion were used to treat localized prostate cancer and simultaneous integrated boost to the gross tumor in the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT and multi- parameter MRI.
