Summary

This trial is testing whether a new treatment for prostate cancer, called Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE), is effective. PAE will be given to patients before they start radiation therapy. Patients will be followed for six and twelve weeks after PAE to see how well the treatment works.

Who is the study for?
Men with low to intermediate-risk prostate cancer who choose radiation therapy and have a prostate size between 60-150 grams. They must understand the study and consent to participate, have normal organ function, an AUA or IPSS Score of 15 or more, and be able to undergo PAE within 6-12 weeks before radiotherapy.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) performed prior to radiation therapy can improve outcomes for patients with prostate cancer. Participants will receive PAE by Interventional Radiology followed by regular check-ups leading up to their definitive radiotherapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include discomfort at the embolization site, minor bleeding, infection risk from catheter placement for PAE, fatigue from radiation therapy, as well as potential urinary issues related to both treatments.
