• b. No disease outside of the pelvic and sub-diaphragmatic para-aortic lymph nodes
• c. At least one lesion in the sub-diaphragmatic pelvic or para-aortic lymph nodes
• d. Non-bulky nodal disease (ie, tumor <5 cm)

4. Prior pelvic radiation with disease response

• a. Definitive radiation therapy to the prostate with or without treatment of the pelvic lymph nodes and/or
• b. Salvage or adjuvant radiation therapy to the prostate bed following prostatectomy with or without treatment of the pelvic lymph nodes

5. Hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-2

6. History of prior radiation therapy outside the pelvis for prostate cancer
7. Bulky nodal disease >5 cm in tumor size
8. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or chemotherapy in the three months prior to staging PSMA PET/CT scan (suggesting oligoprogressive disease, rather than true oligorecurrent disease) or at time of study enrollment
