Primary study design	Interventional
Study design	Randomised controlled trial
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Scientific title	Gold seed markers for improved set-up accuracy during high dose radiotherapy for prostate cancer
Study objectives	To assess the impact on set-up accuracy of 4 methods of preparing the patient's bladder and rectum before radiotherapy, using gold seed markers for reference
Ethics approval(s)	Granted by Wirral Local Research Ethics Committee (UK) on 16/04/2003, reference number 33/03.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Cancer: Prostate
Intervention	1. Clinical trial 2. Randomised trial 2.1 Full bladder, empty rectum 2.2 Full bladder, full rectum 2.3 Empty bladder, empty rectum 2.4 Empty bladder, full rectum
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure(s)	Prior to July 2008: 1. Prostate position and movement 2. Radiation dose to tumour and normal tissues 3. Toxicity 4. Quality of life 5. Biochemical relapse free survival 6. Overall survival Modified on 23 July 2008 - primary end points as follows: 1. Determination of magnitude of set-up errors in radiotherapy of prostate cancer using current and alternative set-up procedures 2. Early and late treatment toxicity 3. Biochemical (PSA) relapse free survival 4. Overall survival will also be recorded, but the study is not large enough to detect any difference between the groups
