• Evidence of distant metastases
• Regional lymph node involvement
• Previous radical surgery (prostatectomy), cryosurgery, or HIFU for prostate cancer Previous pelvic irradiation, prostate brachytherapy, or bilateral orchiectomy Previous hormonal therapy, such as LHRH agonists or antagonists, anti-androgens, estrogens, or surgical castration (orchiectomy)
• Use of finasteride within 30 days prior to registration. PSA should not be obtained prior to 30 days after stopping finasteride.
• Use of dutasteride within 90 days prior to registration. PSA should not be obtained prior to 90 days after stopping dutasteride.
• Previous or concurrent cytotoxic chemotherapy for prostate cancer Severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows:
• Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 6 months
• Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months
• Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy at the time of registration
• Hepatic insufficiency resulting in clinical jaundice and/or coagulation defects; note, however, that laboratory tests for liver function and coagulation parameters are not required for entry into this protocol. (Patients on Coumadin or other blood thinning agents are eligible for this study.)
• Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) based upon current CDC definition; note, however, that HIV testing is not required for entry into this protocol.
