The study is being done to compare the side effects between two different radiation techniques, standard non-adaptive radiation therapy vs. daily adaptive radiation therapy and also comparing two different bladder filling instructions to find out if customized bladder instructions may lead to better treatment outcomes.

RECRUITINGAssess the feasibility of randomization to adaptive vs standard radiotherapy localized high-risk prostate cancer.
Accrual and randomization rate will be captured in REDCap database until the goal of 104 participants are randomized. With the accrual rate, we may imply it is feasible to do a larger more definitive and timely randomized control trial.
Time frame: Accrual period, estimated 3.5 years
Measure and compare the patient reported Acute GU and GI bladder toxicity associated standard (SRT) and Adaptive (ART) radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer.
using Patient reported questionnaire (POSI) to review toxicities at 1.5 months, 6 months, and years 1,2,5 post study RT.
Time frame: 5 years after participant completes RT
Measure and compare the patient reported Late GU and GI bladder side effects associated standard (SRT) and Adaptive (ART) radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer.
using Patient reported questionnaire (POSI) to review toxicities at 1.5 months, 6 months, and years 1,2,5 post study RT.
Time frame: 5 years after participant completes RT
Measure and compare the physician reported CTCAE Acute (6 weeks post RT) GU and GI bladder CTCAE toxicity associated standard (SRT) and Adaptive (ART) radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
review toxicities at 1.5 months, 6 months, and years 1,2,5 post study RT.
Time frame: 5 years after participant completes RT
Determine which bladder filling instructions (BFI) are associated with daily shortest treatment time
using treatment time record during the 20 fractions
Time frame: approx 4 weeks during treatment of 20 fractions
Determine which BFIs are associated with least rescan and repeat CBCT requirements
