Summary

This early-phase study tests a new type of radiation (carbon-ion therapy) given in only 6 sessions instead of the usual 12 for men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well. Twenty men will receive the treatment, and some may also get hormone therapy for 6 months. They will be followed for up to 5 years to check for side effects and cancer control.
