Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To develop standard procedures for recto-prostatic spacer during prostate cancer radiotherapy treatment using blood or hyaluronic acid.  2 years 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Functional success in creating 5 – 10 mm space between rectal wall and prostate (at mid gland level)
To assess procedure related Adverse Events (AEs)
To study the impact on dose to the rectum with and without recto-prostatic spacer (blood or hyaluronic acid) when planning radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
 
2 years 
To evaluate the impact of recto-prostatic spacer on doses to the target coverage and other organs at risk like bladder, femoral heads and bowel.
Stability of space created and identification of space, during the course of radiotherapy.
To assess early (at radiotherapy conclusion and 3 months) and late rectal toxicity (at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months) as per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0.
 
2 years 
To see if CT and CBCT is as good as MRI to identify volume and dimensions of recto-prostatic space created using blood or hyaluronic acid.
Cost analysis for using two types of spacers (blood and hyaluronic acid).

Brief Summary  

Radiotherapy is one of the established treatments for prostate cancer. Modern radiotherapy techniques have been helpful in decreasing dose to adjacent normal structures like bladder and rectum when prostate is being irradiated. However, some significant dose is still received by these organs which can lead to late side effects. Recently, some inert or body similar materials have been used to create space between rectum and prostate and have gained standard of care status through randomized trials for ability to decrease rectal toxicity. These materials are not available off label in India. In this study we are trying to standardize the workflow and testing two of the such materials. One is Hyaluronic acid which is easily available and other is patient’s own blood which can be very cost effective for our patient population. These will help in decreasing the side effects as well as guide more economical solution for Indian patient population.
