Study Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other sources to damage tumor cells. Interstitial brachytherapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Combining interstitial brachytherapy with external-beam radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether interstitial brachytherapy is more effective with or without external-beam radiation therapy in treating prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of interstitial brachytherapy with or without external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients who have prostate cancer.

Primary Outcome

A Freedom from Progression (FFP) failure includes biochemical failure, local failure, distant failure, or death due to any cause. Patients who are failure free with less than 5 years of follow-up or who receive any secondary salvage therapy are censored. Freedom from Progression rates are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
