  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
  • Indications for post-prostatectomy radiation exist:
  • Disease progression (detectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) on two measurements obtained at least one month apart) or

Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients are included if CD4+ (cytotoxic T cells) T-cell count \> 200 cells/uL; on stable antiretroviral therapy for \> 1 year with HIV viral load \<200 copies/mL, and no history of opportunistic infections in \> 1 year.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents concurrently.

  • History of radiation that would overlap with the intended treatment to the prostate bed.
  • Known contraindications to radiation such as inflammatory bowel disease, active systemic lupus or scleroderma, or radiation hypersensitivity syndrome (Ataxia Telangiectasia or Fanconi's Anemia)
  • Subjects with any coexisting medical or psychiatric condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator likely to interfere with study procedures and/or results.
