For a patient with localized, high-risk prostate cancer (Gleason >8, staged with PSMA PET), is prostate SBRT a reasonable treatment choice, and if so, what duration of ADT would you utilize in this setting?
Yes, I offer SBRT as a reasonable option for high-risk prostate cancer. This is admittedly an extrapolation from PACE-B, which studied treatment of intermediate-risk cancer, but it seems justified in my view. Safety is well established. Efficacy is supported by PACE-B, with an asterisk coming from N...

I would offer the opportunity to enroll the patient in the NRG-GU013 study, which is randomizing high...
