Prostate cancer radiation linked to bowel control issues in survivors
NCT ID NCT04262609
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how often prostate cancer survivors experience faecal incontinence (loss of bowel control) after a specific type of radiation therapy. Researchers will track 200 survivors and measure the radiation dose received by the anal sphincter to see if higher doses lead to worse incontinence. The goal is to better understand this side effect and improve future treatments.
