Weekly adaptive radiation aims to sharply target High-Risk prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT07591051
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a weekly, image-guided radiation therapy (SBRT) for men with very high-risk prostate cancer that may have spread to nearby lymph nodes. The treatment uses weekly CT or MRI scans to adapt the radiation dose precisely to the tumor. The main goals are to see if this approach is feasible and safe, with 54 participants being followed for side effects and cancer control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) guided by CT or MRI scans
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more precise and effective radiation treatment for men with very high-risk prostate cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study (54 people) testing a new way of delivering an established treatment. It may not prove better than standard approaches, and there is a risk of side effects like urinary or bowel problems.
