Summary

This study looks at whether breath tests, blood tests for DNA, and special scans can predict how prostate cancer and healthy tissues respond to a precise type of radiotherapy called SBRT. Researchers will follow 60 men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer for up to 2 years after treatment. The goal is to learn how to personalize radiation doses to improve cure rates and reduce side effects.
