Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This is a Phase I/II trial evaluating the effectiveness of adding neoadjuvant HDR-B prior to RALP for HR-PCa patients with selective AAB for decipher high risk or pathologically node positive patients. Patients with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed, non-metastatic, HR-PCa who are scheduled to receive RALP will be eligible to participate in the study.
