Dose Escalation Study Using Ultra-Hypofractionated, Image-Guided, Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new type of IG-IMRT called "ultra-hypofractionated IG-IMRT" where a higher dose of radiation is given to the tumor during each treatment day. Since higher doses of radiation are used each day, the total number of treatment days needed to complete this type of radiation is only five instead of the 45-48 treatments currently used. Treatment takes place every other day and is complete after 2 weeks. If the patient decides to get this treatment, they will come in for 5 treatments. This is different from the 48 treatments they would get normally.
