Summary

This study aimed to test a focused radiation treatment (HDR brachytherapy) for men whose prostate cancer returned only in the prostate gland after earlier radiation therapy. It planned to enroll adults with biopsy-confirmed recurrence seen on a special PET scan. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
