Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Hormone therapy naive patients planned to be treated by radical radiotherapy after
3-6 months of androgen suppression

- Patients with low-high risk histologically confirmed localised disease are eligible,
with WHO performance status 0-1.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients unsuitable for functional MRI of the prostate or gold seed fiducial marker
insertion (e.g. patients unable to tolerate endorectal MRI examination).

- No prior pelvic radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy, previous androgen therapy,
patients unsuitable for radical radiotherapy, life expectancy <10 years, previous
active malignancy within last 5 years, co-morbid conditions likely to impact on the
advisability of radical radiotherapy, full anticoagulation, other exclusions to MRI
(e.g. hip prosthesis or fixation, claustrophobia, ferromagnetic implants).



Age minimum: 16 Years
Age maximum: N/A
Gender: Male
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Prostate Cancer
Intervention(s)
Other: Imaging Investigations (not radiation)
Other: Other
Primary Outcome(s)
Comparison of dose distributions produced by rival radiotherapy plans judged using radiobiological model predictions of Tumour Control Probability (TCP) and Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP). [Time Frame: No]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Comparison of dose distributions produced by rival radiotherapy plans judged using three standard dose-volume constraints for targets and normal tissues and careful examination of the 3D dose distribution. [Time Frame: No]
Comparison of image quality, registration reproducibility and gland distortion of internal and external imaging coils for MRI image acquisition and registration of the prostate. [Time Frame: No]
Comparison of reproducibility of registration algorithms for mapping functional MR data acquired before hormone therapy to MR anatomical data acquired after hormone therapy and prior to radiotherapy. [Time Frame: No]
Comparison of reproducibility of registration of functional and MR data with computed tomography (CT) data using gold seed registration, assessing reproducibility and positioning issues. [Time Frame: No]
