To clarify the role of short-term Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in the context of intermediate unfavorable and a subclass of high-risk patients treated with prostate Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). In intermediate unfavorable risk group, when choosing standard external beam radiotherapy, short term ADT is superior in terms of biochemical disease free survival (bDFS) to EBRT alone. In high risk disease, results of the combination therapy are even more clear. Prostate SRT has been endorsed as option for primary radical treatment for prostate cancer. In such patients, the benefit of ADT is still unknown and the decision is left to clinical judgement. For these reasons, it seems to be relevant to propose a randomized, open label, phase III clinical trial of prostate SBRT + 6 months ADT versus prostate SBRT alone in intermediate unfavorable and a subgroup of high risk prostate cancer patients.

quality of life, prostate related quality of life in prostate cancer
scored with questionnaire Expandend Prostate cancer Index Composite-26 (EPIC-26), score scale is 0-100 with higher scores representing better health related quality of life
Time frame: 12 weeks after SRT, 3, 6 and 12 months after SRT
quality of life, prostate related quality of life questionnarire
scored with questionnaire European organization for research and treatment of cancer PR 25, (EORTC PR 25), All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high score for the Sexual Activity and Sexual Functioning scales represents a high level of functioning, whereas a high score for the Urinary, Bowel, and Hormonal Treatment Related symptoms scales and Incontinence Aid item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.
