First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tested whether adding targeted radiation to a hormone-blocking drug (apalutamide) helps control prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and spread to a few spots. 26 men with castration-resistant prostate cancer took part. The main goal was to see if PSA levels became undetectable after treatment. Results help guide future treatment approaches.
