This research is being done to see if we can improve the outcome of prostate cancer patients who present with metastatic lesions at initial diagnosis.
Phase 2 Randomized Total Eradication of Metastatic Lesions Following Definitive Radiation to the Prostate in De Novo OligometaStatic Prostate Cancer (TERPS) Trial
This study will compare the effects, good and/or bad, of using the standard of care treatment (systemic therapy + primary prostate radiation) compared to standard of care treatment plus stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) to metastatic lesions for prostate patients. The researchers are also trying to learn if the addition of SABR will affect recurrence rates. Presence of circulating tumor cells, gut bacteria, and quality of life will be assessed for both groups.
