Summary
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to
the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet
known which schedule of intensity-modulated radiation therapy is more effective in treating
patients with prostate cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying the side effects of three schedules of
intensity-modulated radiation therapy and compares how well they work in treating patients
with localized prostate cancer.
