Leuprolide, Bicalutamide, and Implant Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Locally Recurrent Prostate Cancer After External-Beam Radiation Therapy

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as leuprolide and bicalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Implant radiation therapy kills tumor cells by placing material such as radioactive iodine directly into or near a tumor. Giving leuprolide and bicalutamide together with implant radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving leuprolide and bicalutamide together with implant radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer after external-beam radiation therapy.
