  • Histological diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma, International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade groups 1-5
  • Patients over 18 years of age

  • Clinical M0 (PSMA PET/CT and/or bone scan and/or pelvic MRI with and without contrast medium in suspected patients and unfavorable intermediate and high risk patients, according to NCCN guidelines), in the previous 3 months
  • Acceptable uroflowmetry: peak urine flow index (peak flow preferably ≥ 15 ml/s), post voiding residue (PVR) ≤50 cc. If lower, acceptable if, by carrying out 3 months of neoadjuvant hormone therapy + alpha-lytic for the reduction of prostate volume, uroflowmetry is reset to at least ≥ 12 ml/s.
  • PS (ECOG) ≤2
  • No previous pelvic radiotherapy

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Serious systemic diseases
  • Psychic or other disorders that may prevent the patient from signing the informed consent
  • Previous invasive cancer, except skin cancer (excluding melanoma) unless patient free of disease for at least 3 years (e.g. carcinoma in situ of the oral cavity or bladder)
  • Lymph node disease (N1)
  • Evidence of distant metastases (M1)
  • IPSS questionnaire data > 20 points
  • Uroflowmetry with maximum basal flow ≤ 11 ml/sec and/or PVR >100 ml
  • Concomitant urinary/gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease)
  • Overactive bladder
  • Impossibility of implantation of fiducials
  • Inability or refusal to place bladder catheter for simulation CT and MR
