The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of this MR-guided radiotherapy on tumor control of the dominant intraprostatic lesion among patients with intermediate risk prostate cancer. This study of Radiotherapy to the Prostate and Dominant Lesion Using Ultra-Hypofractionated, MR-adaptive Radiation Therapy aims to evaluate tumor control after definitive ultra-hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy (including a simultaneously delivered high-dose boost to a dominant lesion as detected on prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer. This will incorporate the use of multiparametric MRI for target segmentation and the use of the MR-linac with adaptive radiation planning to treat the prostate gland, incorporating a dose boost to the dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL) that is visible on T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging and de-escalation of dose to the remainder of the prostate.

Patients will receive 9 Gy/fraction (45 Gy total) for five fractions to the DIL, while the remainder of the prostate will be treated to 30 Gy in 5 fractions.
A rectal spacer will be placed one week prior to simulation to achieve a separation of approximately 1 cm between the prostate and anterior rectal wall to further minimize rectal toxicity in these patients. The hydrogel will remain in the body for about 12 weeks.

Change in International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS)
The I-PSS is based on the answers to seven questions concerning urinary symptoms. Each question is assigned points from 0 to 5 indicating increasing severity of the particular symptom. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic). Score are classified as follows: 0 - 7 = mildly symptomatic; 8 - 19 = moderately symptomatic; 20 - 35 = severely symptomatic.

Change in International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) score
The IIEF consists of 11 items, grouped into five factors: erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction. Items are scored in a 1-5 Likert-type scale, with higher scores indicating better erectile function. Erectile dysfunction (ED) severity is classified into five categories: no ED (score 22-25), mild (17-21), mild to moderate (12-16), moderate (8-11), and severe (5-7).

Change in genomic classifier (GC) Decipher score
Scores are derived from the expression of 22 genes. Decipher scores are a continuous variable reported on a scale of 0 to 1. These scores are then stratified to three risk-categories: low (\<0.45), intermediate (≥ 0.45 - \< 0.6) and high (≥ 0.6)
Time frame: Baseline, 6 months post-treatment
