This randomized clinical trial compares two methods of prostate cancer treatment. It investigates whether stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is superior to moderately hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The main objective is to determine which method has a better impact on patients' quality of life. Patient-reported urinary irritative/obstructive and bowel quality of life are assessed. Furthermore, disease-free survival is also monitored. The study focuses on patients with localized intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
