About this study

The aim of the present feasibility study of a new short palliative radiotherapy regime that apply to patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) presenting with a dominating debilitating symptom. Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) will apply to identify both the lesion and the most aggressive part of the lesion. The symptomatic lesions will be treated with a dose of 4 x 5 Gy, while for the most aggressive part of the lesion the dose will be escalated to 4 x 7 Gy using a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) technique.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of study participants that complete the study

    Proportion of study participants that complete radiotherapy with ≥ 90% of prescribed dose

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response in dominating symptom score (short form McGill pain Questionnaire)

    Patient score symptom/pain using the short form McGill pain Questionnaire version 2

    Measured: Baseline, 1,3 and 6 months after radiotherapy

  2. Acute radiation toxicity score using CTCAE

    Doctor score acute radiation toxicity using the CTCAE version 4

    Measured: Baseline, 1,3 and 6 months after radiotherapy

  3. Quality of life score using EORTC QLQ-C30

    Patient fill out EORTC quality of life Questionnaire form C30

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months after radiotherapy
