What this trial is about
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the quality of life (QOL) reported by prostate cancer patients 2 years after treatment with ultra-hypofractionated post-prostatectomy radiation therapy (also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy \[SBRT\]) versus the self-reported QOL of those treated with moderately hypo-fractionated post-prostatectomy radiation (a current standard of care option).

Inclusion criteria
- Men age ≥ 18 with histologically confirmed prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy with a PSA ≥ 0.1 ng/mL
- Interval between prostatectomy and planned radiation therapy start date ≥ 6 months
- KPS ≥ 70
- Patients with equivocal pelvic lymph nodes on imaging are eligible if the nodes are ≤ 1.5 cm in the short axis (equivocal evidence of metastatic disease outside of the pelvis on standard imaging requires documented negative biopsy)
- Ability to complete the EPIC-26 quality of life questionnaire
- Ability to obtain tissue from radical prostatectomy specimen for review by Michigan Medicine Pathology
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
- Prior history of pelvic radiation therapy
- History of moderate/severe or active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis
- History of bladder neck or urethral stricture
- Evidence of distant metastatic disease or nodal involvement beyond the common iliac vessels
- Initiation of androgen deprivation therapy with a LHRH / GnRH agonist or antagonist greater than 6 months prior to enrollment or receipt of any non-LHRH / GnRH agonist or antagonist androgen deprivation or anti-androgen therapy
- History of another invasive malignancy within the previous 3 years except for adequately treated squamous or basal cell skin cancer
- Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in this study
