First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study tested whether adding a precise, high-dose radiation treatment (SBRT) to the hormone therapy apalutamide helps control prostate cancer that no longer responds to standard hormone therapy and has spread to a few spots in the body. Twenty-six men with this type of cancer took part. The main goal was to see if the combination could make PSA levels undetectable after 18 months. Results will help determine if the added radiation improves outcomes.
