Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad of two treatment methods
on subjects and their cancer.
Proton beam radiation therapy is one of the treatments for men with prostate cancer who have
localized disease. The benefit of the combination with androgen suppression is not completely
understood. This study will compare the use of hypofraction proton therapy (28 treatments)
alone to proton therapy with androgen suppression therapy.
