NCT00388804
Primary Objective: * To assess the possible improvement in prostate specific antigen (PSA) outcome of short course androgen suppression therapy in conjunction with dose-escalation intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), or proton therapy over IMRT, 3D-CRT, or proton therapy alone in prostate cancer patients traditionally considered at intermediate risk for PSA failure following conventional local therapy. PSA failure will be the primary endpoint. Secondary Objectives: * To assess local control, freedom from distant metastasis, and overall survival. * To study the impact of radiation therapy and/or hormone therapy on health-related quality of life measures using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite-Short Form 12-American Urological Association Symptom Index (EPIC-SF12-AUASI: http://roadrunner.cancer.med.umich.edu/epic/). * To assess prognostic value of pretreatment serum testosterone as well as the decrease in hemoglobin from neoadjuvant hormone therapy. * To assess prognostic value of pretreatment biomarkers on subsequent post-treatment clinical outcomes.
NCT00836238
The goal of this research study is to learn if your answers to questions during an interview can help researchers predict how well you function physically and if you are at a high risk for falls. Primary Objectives: -To determine how accurately a simple questionnaire can predict three objective measures of function in elderly patients with prostate cancer. Secondary Objectives: * To assess the correlations between three functional tests and the number of self-reported falls in elderly patients with prostate cancer. * To determine risk factors related to number of falls in elderly prostate cancer patients.
