The AIM Study: Assessing the Impact of Margin Reduction
Completed
Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer
In brief
This study will observe patients who receive external beam radiation for prostate cancer. These patients will be localized and tracked (targeted) with the Calypso 4D Localization System. These patients will have a uniform treatment plan with reduced PTVs (prostate treatment volume) and will be assessed at multiple time points for quality of life and side effects related to radiation therapy.
