NCT ID NCT04081428
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at new ways to predict how prostate cancer and nearby healthy tissues react to a precise type of radiation therapy called SBRT. Researchers will analyze breath samples, blood DNA, and CT scans from 60 men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to find markers that could help doctors personalize treatment to improve cure rates and reduce side effects.
