This study is looking at two types of rectal spacers, SpaceOAR Vue and BioProtect Balloon Implant System, for men with localized prostate cancer who are having proton beam therapy (a type of radiation). These spacers are designed to create space between the prostate and the rectum during radiation to help protect the rectum. We want to see how much space these devices create. You may be able to join if you are over 18, have prostate cancer that hasn't spread too far, and are planning to have proton beam therapy. The study plans to enroll up to 50 participants, but the current recruitment status is unclear.
