Open to males ages 18 years and up

Subjects must meet the following criteria to be eligible for participation in the study:

1. Age ≥18 years old
2. Subjects must have had pathologically confirmed (by routine hematoxylin and eosin [H&E] staining) invasive adenocarcinoma of the prostate and planning to undergo EBRT
3. Subjects must meet ALL of the following:
   1. Clinical stage T1-T2c (AJCC Ver. 8) tumor AND
   2. Gleason Score 7 or less as determined from a biopsy taken within 12 months of the Baseline visit AND
   3. Demonstrated blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels ≤20 ng/ml as measured within 6 months of the Baseline visit and prior to commencing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)
4. Subject is able to provide written informed consent, approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee/Research Ethics Board (IRB/EC/REB) of the respective clinical site

1. Prostate > 80 cc
2. Subjects who are planning to undergo brachytherapy or focal boost
3. Subjects who have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of gross posterior extracapsular extension (ECE) of the prostate cancer Note: MRI must be taken within 6 months prior to the Baseline visit
4. Subjects who have metastatic disease, other ongoing cancers which are being treated during the study or subjects for whom pelvic lymph node radiotherapy is planned
5. Subjects with any prior invasive solid tumor malignancy or hematologic malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless the subject has been disease free and treatment free for a minimum of 3 years
6. History of radical prostatectomy, other ablative anti-prostate cancer therapy (e.g., cryotherapy, high intensity focused ultrasound, irreversible electroporation) or previous pelvic irradiation (including prior prostate brachytherapy) at any time prior to screening
7. History of transurethral prostate surgery (e.g., Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA), Transurethral Microwave Therapy (TUMT), Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)) if performed within 1 year prior to screening
8. History of prior pelvic surgery requiring low anterior or abdominoperineal resections or rectal surgery

13. Inability to undergo pelvic MRI or presence of implants causing severe artifact (e.g. bilateral arthroplasty) that interferes with imaging interpretation for this study at Investigator discretion
14. If a subject was enrolled in another investigational drug or device trial that had not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interfered with this study
15. Unable to comply with the study requirements or follow-up schedule
16. Any condition the Investigator believed would interfere with the intent of the study or would make participation not in the best interest of the patient
