    Study Title:

    A Phase II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Prostatic Artery Embolization in Patients with Localized Prostate Carcinoma and Obstructive Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

    Summary:

    This is a Phase II prospective clinical trial in which patients with prostate carcinoma and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms electing for radiation therapy will undergo Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) prior to treatment.

    Objective:

    Primary Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy of PAE on LUTS Secondary Objectives: (i) To assess prostate volume reduction after PAE. (ii) To assess acute GU toxicity after PAE Correlative Objectives: (i) To assess for clinical or imaging signs of disease progression after PAE before definitive radiotherapy (ii) To assess effects of PAE on treatment planning

  • Treatments

    Therapies:

    Radiotherapy; Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)

    Medications:

    Radiotherapy ()

  • Inclusion Criteria

      Inclusion Criteria:

    • Ability to receive prostatic artery embolization within 6-12 weeks of definitive radiation therapy.
    • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
