Prior hormonal therapy, such as LHRH agonists (e.g., goserelin, leuprolide), antiandrogens (e.g., flutamide, bicalutamide), estrogens (e.g., DES), or bilateral orchiectomy
Use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride) specifically prescribed for the treatment of prostate cancer
Prior or concurrent cytotoxic chemotherapy for prostate cancer; prior chemotherapy for a different cancer is permitted
Prior radiation, including brachytherapy, to the region of the prostate that would result in overlap of RT fields
Active lupus or scleroderma
Severe, active co-morbidity, including but not limited to,unstable angina within the last 6 months without subsequent corrective cardiovascular procedure,or acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration
